Who won? Who cares? More than 55 CUNTS raised a cheer for Charlie. Photo Tee Faerie

An estimated 55 Cavanbah United Nice Trademans Society (CUNTS) cricketers converged on Lofts Oval in Brunswick Heads last Friday for the purpose of drinking too many beers, having way too much fun and doing some fundraising.

The event raised approximately $1,000 through a surfboard raffle that will go towards surgery to help mitigate the effects of Parkinson’s disease on local man Charlie Emery.

The winner of the surfboard raffle was Justin Bullen, while the best performance on the day was  awarded to the delightful Foxy.
