The Glasshoughton Welfare players before the charity waxing
Glasshoughton Welfare players went the extra mile in their fundraising for Cystic Fibrosis during their charity waxing last night.
Thirteen players took part in the waxing which took place after the 2-0 defeat to Athersley Recreation – Paul Hagreen, John Hirst, Andy Sunley, Liam Tuck, Alex Low, Mathew Donnelly, Hilliard Serrao, Kieran Corley, Dalton Harris, Tim Curtis, Stevie Edwards, Reece Chappell and Daniel Wilders.

A total of £200 during the waxing and it is hoped that a further £300 will be added to that when sponsorship money is collected.
Glasshoughton are holding a season-long fundraising campaign for Cystic Fibrosis that club physio Sam Crawford is leading.
Sam, 26, said: “The event was great fun.
“It was brilliant how the whole club came together, from the chairman Phil, Rob (Hunter), Mark (Smitheringale), all the players & their families.

“The players even donated part of their wages which is extremely generous of them.
“I can’t thank them enough for their efforts – especially Tim who had a whole eyebrow waxed off, Hirsty who had both arm pits done at the same time and the incredible effort by Liam Tuck.”
Further fundraisers are planned for later in the season including a charity football match.
