SAINTS players posed to show their support for grandmother Barbara Ross, who had her head shaven with a bare blade to raise awareness of prostate cancer.

Gran-of-five Barbara, 59, has to-date raised more than £2,100 for Prostate Cancer UK by having her shoulder length locks chopped off at the Primrose Vaults pub in Fingerpost.

Barbara, of Borough Road, who works at The Co-Op store in Blackbrook, feels strongly about the cause as her father died from the illness.

She said: "My sons shaved it off with a bare blade." she said: "So far, I've raised 2,140, and counting.

"It was really great to meet the Saints and get their backing for my fundraising."

A spokesman for Saints said: "The health and wellbeing of our communities is something Rugby League proudly supports through the Men United partnership with Prostate Cancer UK.

"When the team heard about Barbara's fundraising they stepped up to support her as it is important to raise awareness of this disease.

"Well done Barbara!"
