8th July 2014 Warrington Anglers Guardian Notes

8th July 2014 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.

The Mersey Saturday Sweepstake this last week saw newcomer Steve Oliver take the honours with 8-4-3 followed in runner-up spot by regular Paul Harding on 7-6-0 whose catch was helped greatly by a 5lbs bream

Another Mersey win for in form Lee Clarke who won the Sid Jones Open with a bream catch of three fish for 14-15-0 taken on groundbait feeder and maggot. Ray Bowden fished the pole throughout to come second with a mixed net of roach, perch, and small chub for 8-3-0. It was nice to see co-match organiser Ant Higham back amongst the coin for the third time this year.

The Woodshaw Reservoir Junior Series winner on Monday was Matt Dawber with a mixed net of fish for 8-2-0. Runner-up was Matthew Bateson with 6-4-0. The league to date with two matches to go is wide open but is being currently led by Lewis Turner with 69.5 points and James Brown hard on his heels with 67.5. Also congratulations to our Woodshaw Junior Team who won the Manchester County Angling Development Group team event at Bradshaw Fisheries last weekend, not forgetting the coaching team and helpers.

This week's Junior Summer Series was fished on Dunham Fishery and saw David Smith win with 33lbs exactly followed by Morgan Adawee close behind on 29-11-0. Adam Harman was a clear winner of the Intermediates with 38-2-0. Our Minnows /Beginners really struggled for bites this week on the Bridgewater Canal but Ethan Owen came out in the lead with 12-11. Many thanks to Fiona Eaton for donating the prize to the winning junior last week it was certainly very much appreciated by all.
