TWO men are holding a three day snookathon to raise money for two charities close to their hearts.

Steve Martin and Tony Cary are hosting the snooker marathon on April 3, 4 and 5 at Rileys Pool and Snooker Club in Worcester.

The pair want to raise money for the British Heart Foundation and Cancer Research UK.

Mr Martin said: "We really want people to come along and help us raise as much as possible. It should be a fun few days. We, like most people, have been affected by these diseases."

People can support the pair from 10am on the Friday, and can also join in with pay-to-enter pool and darts tournaments on Friday and Saturday respectively and a raffle on Sunday evening, as well as competitions throughout the weekend.
