Dave Newman, Shaun Brown and Richard Wells reached they amazing target of batting against a bowling in the nets at Sleaford's Northgate Sports Hall at 9.05am this morning (Sunday).

They have overcome sleep deprivation, painful feet from standing for long periods, hallucinations of cheese and M and Ms and enjoyed morale boosting visits by friends and family and late night DJ sets to carry them over the line.

We talked to the three straight after the count down to the 72 hour target was reached.
