Falmouth RFC have raised £1,662 for Movember, nearly doubling last year's total.
Movember is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as Anxiety, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide.
Jon Baglow told Nub News:
"We're absolutely chuffed that we were able to raise over £1600 for men's health charity Movember this year.
"Over 20 gents got involved from both senior teams as well as a few social members.
"Our shave event was a great way of kicking things off, raising £70 before November even started with the help of Town Barbers' Toby Sewell who donated his time for free.
"Most valuable top lip was Kevin Bishop who raised nearly £500!"
"Movember is a cause that's very important to me - too many of us don't talk about our problems enough and are too proud to go and see a doctor when there's something wrong with our bits.
"By growing a dodgy moustache (and vigorously encouraging others too!) I'm hoping to raise awareness for key men's issues and raise some money to help men in need."
