Young Chelsey Jeffcoate of Worksop DAA cadets showed how it should be done, with a top weight on the evening of 7.5 kilos of chub and roach, employing worm and caster off peg 121.

This would be a creditable net in any club match, but considering that this was a three hour sprint it was a real achievement.

This was not an isolated catch and there were some impressive back up weights from both age groups.

This event could not have been such a success without the dedication of the Grafton members who stewarded, particularly Mick Simpson and Thomas Hunt, who worked tirelessly throughout the evening.

Also thanks must go to joint sponsor of the event Ken Ward for his continuing generous support of this competition.

Under 12s: 1st Chelsey Jeffcoate 7.5 kilos peg 121; 2nd Michael Tamborini 3.4 kilos peg 117; 3rd Darcie Lilley 1.8 kilos peg 103; 4th J. Betts 1.59 kilos peg 93; 5th W. Phillips 0.54 kilos peg 100.

Under 16s: 1st L. Ainsworth 2.77 kilos peg 91; 2nd L. Caudwell 2.3 kilos peg 106; 3rd Ben Frost 1.76 kilos peg 120; 4th R. Bolton 1.44 kilos peg 120; 5th Devon Whitworth 1.37 kilos peg 118.
