Cheshire starlets shine at Border

The cream of Cheshire's young angling talent attended the first Inter-regional event held by the ADB on Saturday 25th September. 

The event, hosted by the ADB Midlands region at Border Fishery near Crewe, was part of the Talent Pathway process, aiming to identify and develop elite anglers in preparation for international competitions. 

Amongst the North West squad was a contigent of Cheshire-based anglers, including Adam Harman, Tom Bunby, Lindon Brooks, Ryan Parr, Kaythan Shillito, Reiss Bratt, Ryan Brown and Shaun Gaskell. The "A" team were triumphant on the day, beating teams from the North East and Midlands on weight. Team Captain Ryan Parr also recorded the highest weight in the "A" team section.

Congratulations must go to another North West angler, Daniel Goulding from Liverpool, who skillfully landed a 12lb carp to record the highest weight on the day, earning himself a trophy in the process.
