The River Weaver at Hartford provided a very fair venue, on a scorching hot day. The competitors from 5 different Cheshire clubs were grateful for the refreshments provided on the day courtesey of Penketh & Old Hall AS.
The fishing was good, with lots of close weights and some of the section winners picking up points only by a margin of ounces.
Local Northwich rod Alex Clegg was the winner on the day, with a fine all-silverfish net for 5lbs 9ozs. That gave just a one ounce cushion over Warrington starlet, Adam Harman, who had a similiar catch for 5lbs 8oz. Third-placed Paul Bacon (Prince Albert AS) included a decent bream in his 4lb 8oz net.
In the team event, Prince Albert AS took home the team trophy with an 11 points score. Warrington and Northwich tied on points for 2nd, with Warrington taking runner up spot with a superior weight score.
