Penketh & Old Hall Angling Society were the triumphant winners in the first ever CADG fundraiser match.
The match was fished at Bay Malton's Border Fishery on Sunday. Eight teams entered this first senior CADG event. It was a tough day's fishing, with overnight temperatures plummeting and putting the fish off the feed.
All manner of baits and methods - worm, pellet, caster, maggot, corn, meat - you name it and it was tried as anglers tried to scratch together a winning net. After 5 hours though, the victorious angler was Rick Thompson (Twangers2) who managed 16lbs 14oz, giving him less than a pound margin over runner up John Bryan from Penketh.
In the team event, Penketh & Old Hall AS came out on top. The team comprising Alan Lamb, James Bryan, John Bryan and Adam Hill put together a total winning weight of 45lbs 6oz.
Thank you to all the teams who took part, to Bay Malton AC for the kind use of the venue, and for Paul Bryan for helping with the results and photos. The event raised £110 for the Cheshire ADG.
