IT WAS billed as a ‘young v old’ match with the Coolum Colts going up against the Coolum Sports Club Bowlers in a friendly game of barefoot bowls on Sunday, February 22, with all money raised going to the Coolum SES.

Representatives from the SES were there to field questions for would-be volunteers, and Castaway Barbers brought along their scissors and offered $35 haircuts as a way to give back to the cause, which raised $2638.50 by the end of the day.

Coolum Sports Club Manager Wendy extended a huge “thank you” to all who took part.

“Thanks to Castaway Barbers, as they cut lots of people’s hair and to the Coolum Colts for challenging our bowlers to a game, and also thanks to CousticCKs for some great tunes.

“Unfortunately, the mature and more experienced won out this time, but there was some real talent amongst those Colt players. If you ever want to give up footy, you know where to come.”
