Cheshire Oaks - 7th September
It was one of those Cheshire Oaks days where the sky said “nope” and proceeded to dump rain on us for most of the match. Waterproofs were tested, umbrellas re-engineered, and the only thing drier than our nets at the all-in was the jokes on the bank.
Overall winner was a runaway Andy Lavender (Peg 7) with a superb 94lb 10oz from Section B a class performance in filthy weather. Runner-up was Wayne Jevons (Peg 1) on 60lb 3oz from Section A, and third overall and Section C winner went to Mike Roberts (Peg 17) with a tidy 49lb 3oz.
Section winners:
A: Wayne Jevons 60lb 3oz
B: Andy Lavender 94lb 10oz
Peter Doyle picked up the default section win
C: Mike Roberts 49lb 3oz
D: Syd Taylor 32lb 14oz.
And the Golden Peg? It sat on Peg 24 and absolutely did not go—only 8lb 9oz came off it, so no extra pennies for you John!
Miserable weather, soaked anglers, cracking banter, and some decent weights—exactly the sort of day that makes you love club matches. Well fished, everyone!
