Two stars of the Barrow Raiders team have smashed their fundraising target after cutting off their hair for charity.
Charlie Emslie and Brett Carter both sacrificed their mullets on Sunday, September 29 following Raiders' home game against Widnes Vikings.
This saw them visit the MKM Marquee, where a crowd gathered to watch the spectacle unfold.
The pair went through the ordeal to support The Little Princess Trust and St Mary's Hospice.
A spokesperson from Barrow Raiders commented: "Thank you to everyone who played a part in Charlie and Brett's sponsored mullet cut.
"We'd also like to give a big shoutout to Devros Barbers for playing their part in such a worthwhile effort for two fantastic causes."
On Tuesday this week, the club revealed that, combining online donations with money collected on the day, Charlie and Brett have now raised over £3500, beating their original goal of £3000.
Charlie explained that they were inspired to make the sacrifice by the 'incredible' work that the hospice, based in Ulverston, does on a daily basis.
The other beneficiary, The Little Princess Trust, provides free real hair wigs to children and young people up to the age of 24, who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or other conditions such as Alopecia.
The organisation has also grown to be one of the largest funders of childhood cancer research in the UK, searching to find kinder and more effective treatments for those living with the disease.

On average, one of the wigs costs £700, which means that Charlie and Brett's contribution is going to help a number of people and make their lives just a little bit more comfortable.
The charity itself shared its gratitude for the successful fundraiser, saying: "We can't thank you enough for the incredible support."
