Murgon soccer players have issued a challenge to their opponents in Kingaroy and Nanango.
The Barambah United Football Club senior men’s and ladies players recently registered for the World’s Greatest Shave to help raise money for leukaemia research.
They will all be going under the clippers on Saturday, March 12, to coincide with the opening round of this year’s Football South Burnett competition.
oriGINAl hair by Gina and Fox Beauty and Nails have offered their services for the morning.
“We’re hoping to do a sausage sizzle and some other crazy things while we get shaved so that we can raise some serious money for this amazing cause,” club president Sarah Vanderkolk said.
“We’ve also sent a challenge to Kingaroy Senior Soccer Club and the Nanango Panthers to get involved, too.”
Perhaps the Barambah players believe getting shaved immediately before the start of the season may also offer other advantages.
For a start, there could be less air resistance if you have short hair.
And head-butting a football could be more powerful and precise if you don’t have long locks to get in the way.
