National Conference League West Bowling's first-team squad have decided to strip off in order to raise much-needed funds for their junior teams.

The players have risked their rugby reputations, and the inevitable good-natured banter, to pose for a calendar that has been published from the start of the year and is now on sale at £10 at the Bankfoot Oval. Mr April is present Keighley coaching staff member and former Bradford Northern hooker Glenn Barraclough, who is in charge of the under-15 team and still turns out at open-age level.

December depicts the team in jovial mood, perhaps celebrating the fact that they managed to avoid relegation and keep their Premier Division status last season.
