The sexier side of Colchester United Ladies' Football Club is to be revealed in a calendar.

Posters for the charity calendar are now being put up and the team is hoping plenty of people will dig into their pockets and buy it as a gift in the run-up to Christmas.

It will be officially launched on November 9. Midfielder Krista Hultquist, who came up with the idea, said: "I saw a calendar and thought we should do something similar."

Ready for the kick-off - Krista Hultquist, of Colchester United Ladies' Football Club, with one of the posters.

It was decided the calendar should raise money for Cancer Research UK.

Miss Hultquist, of New Road, Tiptree, said: "One in nine women in the UK are likely to develop breast cancer and the U's Ladies are determined to raise awareness with this calendar."
