Spotless Stadium in Homebush, New South Wales, Australia,

gloves and pads, and an official certificate was presented to
commemorate their involvement. PCYC NSW chief executive
officer Dominic Teakle said the Guinness World Records
attempt showcased a united community activity that inspires
and empowers young people to get active in life.
