Helen Dagnall, match organiser and Warrington Juniors' Head Coach explained the rules and then after drawing for their pegs, the minnows headed along the canal bank, followed by parents, helpers and coaches and volunteers from Warrington Anglers Association.
Soon the competition was underway and most of the anglers were quickly catching roach, perch and gudgeon. Jack Whiteman had a good start with a couple of small skimmer bream.
Opposite the scout hut, Joseph Copsey hooked onto something that gave his elastic a good stretch, but then realised that he didnt have his landing net set up. With a bit of help from coach Martin Griffiths, the decent roach was soon landed.
After 90 minutes fishing, Helen called the "All-Out!" to signal the end of the match. "Fish On!" was the cry from Morgan Adawee, who had hooked a perch in the dying seconds. The fish proved to be a matchwinner, as Morgan won the match with just over half an ounce to spare from nearest rival, Shaun Wright.
After the weigh-in, all of the competitors gathered round as the results were read out. There were only 2 dry nets out of the 23 who fished, and everyone who caught fish recieved a prize.
Results:
1st - Morgan Adawee (1lb 2oz)
2nd - Shaun Wright (1lb 1oz 5dr)
3rd - Eleanor Jones (1lb)
4th - Jack Whiteman (14oz)
