25th November 2014 Warrington Anglers Association Guardian Notes.

Derek Bibby was the winner of our Mersey Saturday Sweepstake with 6-8-0 which included two skimmers and roach taken on groundbait feeder and maggot. Match organiser Ray Boden was back in his usual position in second place with an all roach net for 3-5-0.

Thirty seven members turned out the following day for our annual Mersey Fur & Feather and true to form the river was out of sorts carrying extra water and coloured. However this did not deter Derek Bibby who added another win in some style to that of the previous day with a net of seven bream for an impressive 38-11-0. Derek drew peg 45 and fished a groundbait feeder and maggot. Runner-up Martin Griffiths fished the same method from peg 33 in the Park and had five bream in his catch of 21-3-0. Karl Guy didn't feature in the main prizes but was the lucky winner of a Drennan rod donated by Stu Conroy plus a meat voucher donated by his wife for drawing 'golden peg 67' which Stu built in memory of his dog. Special thanks must go to Cheshire Angling for running the event and managing to source enough prizes from the WAA donation. Thanks also to others who donated and helped to make the event a success. All anglers managed to snare a prize, even the non-weighers.

The Disabled & Over 60's match on Monday was held at Hough's Bridge and Dead Length and it was pretty dire with weights down to ounces. Match stalwart George Barber managed to find a few fish and put 2-10-10 on the scales to take the win. Graham Belton was second with 1-15-4.
