Five-a-side football teams across the borough took on the Police as they competed for the annual Bolton Community Challenge Cup.

The Community Challenge Cup which this year took place at the Bolton Lads and Girls Club, now in its fourth year, also raises money for Bolton Hospice through the raffle of prizes donated by local groups and businesses. More than 100 prizes have been donated this year including a Nintendo Wii, a BMX bike, a Christian Dior ladies gift set worth £350, various weekend breaks offers and signed memorabilia from Bolton Wanderers, Manchester United, Ricky Hatton and Amir Khan.

In the past three years, the raffle has raised over £5,000 for the Hospice. Ticket sales have brought in more than £4,500. Finalist Islamic College - Willows Lane and players pulled together from some of the different Mosques in Bolton managed by the Bolton Council of Mosques battled it out with a thrilling match that ended with a 3 - 1 win for the team from the Bolton Council of Mosques. The football trophies were presented by Councillor Anthony Connell and his wife Maureen Connell, Mayor and Mayoress of Bolton.
