THIS bunch of hunky rugby players have stripped off for a good cause.

The members of Brighton and Hove Sea Serpents whipped off their muddy kits for a naked calendar shoot.

They teamed up with The Naked Rugby Players Calendar and joined other gay and inclusive teams from across the UK.

The Brighton lads are featured in March and September.

Players from Bristol, Liverpool, Glasgow and Northampton all came together to raise money for their clubs and the Balls To Cancer charity.

Now the calendars are on sale and club treasurer Damian Giles said it makes a great Christmas present.

He said: “The calendar has now been printed and we would like to sell as many as possible.

“It costs £10 and £5 proceeds from each sale when brought through the club go to the running of the Serpents and the other half goes to the charity.

“It is that time of year when everyone will be thinking which calendar to buy and we want people to buy ours.

“It has received a nomination for ‘best calendar’ in the national calendar awards.”

Damian said testicular cancer can affect men directly whatever their sexuality.

He said: “Everyone can be affected by cancer.

“The players, including me, who are taking part in this project hope the people of Sussex and further afield buy one to promote us, the sport of rugby and most importantly testicular cancer awareness.”

If the calendar is posted out, there will be an extra £2.50 charge.

You can buy direct from Bar Broadway in Steine Street, Brighton.
