Cricketers are hoping to bowl over their fans with a fundraising calendar that shows them in a different light.

Instead of going for semi-naked poses made popular since Calendar Girls, the Potterne cricketers and their supporters have gone for a fancy dress option, some with a cowboy theme.

The money raised will be split between a prostate cancer charity and club funds.

Club vice chairman Graham Gaiger said: “We did all the pictures on one day. It was quite a laugh.

“I would like to thank Fancy Pantz in Snuff Street for the kind loan of costumes.”

Cricket playing mum Sandra Cutler, whose son and daughter also play for the club, organised the shoot.

The calendars cost £10 each and are available from Mr Gaiger on graham@gaiger bros.co.uk
