A Manchester-based netball team are trying to break the record for the most supporters at a Netball Superleague home match.
Manchester Thunder will be taking on Leeds Rhinos at the AO Arena on Sunday May 7 and are hoping to get more than 5,959 fans cheering them on to pass the current record.
Thunder is the Netball Super League franchise for the North West and their senior team is currently third in the table.
The team is full of professional and semi-professional athletes - some of which have careers alongside their job as netball players, including doctors and teachers.
We went down to check out a training session ahead of their big match and speak to England and Manchester Thunder captain Natalie Metcalf.
