SNOOKER cues signed by some of the world's top players are up for grabs at a major tournament to be held in Kidderminster next week - and it is all for Operation Covert.

We have two cues signed by players, including World No 1, Ronnie O'Sullivan, to be won at next Thursday's Betfred.com Premier League Snooker evening at the Glades Arena.

Raffle tickets cost £1 and will give snooker fans the chance to win a unique piece of Wyre Forest sporting memorabilia.

Each cue comes in a special case and is signed by the four players in action in Kidderminster - O'Sullivan, Paul Hunter (World No 4), Jimmy White (No 11) and Marco Fu (No 16) - plus Mark Williams (No 2), Stephen Hendry (No 3) and Steve Davis (No 13) who are also taking part in the Premier League competition being held at venues all over the country.

The 850-ticket sell-out night at the Glades is also being broadcast live on Sky Sports 1.

Shuttle/Times and News editor, Clive Joyce, said: "These are really fantastic souvenirs of the biggest snooker night ever held in Kidderminster and we hope people will put their hands in their pockets to support a very worthy cause."

Members of Kidderminster and District Lions Club will be doing their bit for Operation Covert by providing members to help sell raffle tickets on the night.
