The Fur & Feather was greeted with frost on the ground and ice on the brook but Saughall despite being a good 18inches down was ice free but with little wind and bright sunshine (unusual for Saughall) it was always going to be hard.
With 3 golden pegs it was going to be interesting. Keith Williamson drew the first but blew out, Ste Brew (my partner.....and only feckin just at the mo!!!!) drew the other and also blew out.....Ste come on lad your getting really heavy. The final one was Ian Lloyd who looked like he had done enough to snatch it at the last match of the year and only two to weigh in......
....then Ian Simpson weighed and claimed top spot with 15.7lb from the far side in the middle of the first island. His catch was half ide on maggot at 6m and the other half small brown goldfish on pellet at 14.5m. Ian Lloyd was second with a hard fought, near golden peg claiming, mainly ide catch for 12.0lb from the top left corner. Ian finished the year as Matchman of the Year for highest weitht and Billy Gore finished the year as Angler of the Year with a solid third place with an 11.6lb pole caught mixed bag from the far side off the tip of the second island.

3rd - Billy Gore - 11.6lb
Sec A - Dave Gentile - 7.5lb
