BOLTON Police wants to present the town's sporting pub and club superstars with a glittering haul.

Officers hope to reunite the darts, domino and snooker champions with up to 20 trophies discovered abandoned on a Bolton road.

The silver trophies, some up to 20-years-old, were found discarded in Cleveland Gardens, Bolton, possibly after a break-in at a local pub or club. They include trophies from the Bolton and District Snooker League, the Bolton Guide Dogs Domino League and various darts and snooker championships cups.

They trophies were discovered on the pavement last week in two large polythene bags. The bags also contained framed photographs and a personal diary.

Anyone who believes they can help police to discover the true owners of the trophies are asked to contact the Bolton Central Police property store, Monday to Friday, from 8am-4pm, tel: 0161 856 5522.
