IF you believe in old wives' tales then these little boys must be the luckiest children in Hampshire.

Their mum was amazed when she set them a challenge to find a four-leaf clover in a park near their home. Brothers Morgan and Edward Bannister did not just find one, but collected ten of the good luck charms in only half an hour.

Mum Helen, of Shirrell Heath, told the Daily Echo: "We were all hopping up and down because it was so exciting. Finding that many must be a positive sign!"

The boys aged six and four were helped by their friend James Cullum, seven. Most of the clovers have been pressed and the family are trying to decide what to do with them. They want to offer four of the clovers to Morgan's school, St John the Baptist at Waltham Chase.
