The 5th round of the six-match series for the Amanda Lester Cup was held on Sunday morning on the River Dane in Northwich town centre.

WEATHER WINS AGAIN
Unfortunately, last Wednesday’s match on Heesom’s Pool had to be cancelled as the venue was frozen over.
The Pool was to be the venue for the final round of the Scott’s Shield Series on Sunday morning but it was still frozen over and the match was moved to the Lostock Works length of the Trent & Mersey Canal. Although the canal was ice-free, the water was gin clear and the fishing was very difficult with only two of the seven anglers who turned up managing to catch a single fish each. In first place on the day was Arthur Kenney who landed a roach for 0-1-1 and second was Chris Parry who took a small perch for 0-0-11.
The overall winner of this 6-match Series for 2009/10 is Arthur Kenney with a total of 89 points. In the runner-up spot is Chris Parry with 85 and third is Mark Emmison who finished with 68 points.
MATCH RESULTS - 10th JANUARY
The recent spell of cold weather took its toll on the Club’s matches last week as both Wednesday’s and Saturday’s contests due to be held on Heesom’s Pool had to be cancelled because of the icy conditions.
Sunday’s 5th round match of the Scott’s Shield series was due to be held on the River Dane in Northwich town centre but because the bank was dangerous the contest was moved to the Barnton Red Lion stretch of the River Weaver. Unfortunately, none of the competitors managed to record a bite although attendance points were awarded to those who turned up. With just one match to go in this series it is tight at the top. Leading the way is Arthur Kenney with 64 points, closely followed by Mark Emmison who has 63 and Chris Parry with 61 points.
MATCH RESULTS 3rd JANUARY

Both last Wednesday’s and Saturday’s matches at Heesom’s Pool were called off as no anglers turned up, probably not surprising given the freezing weather.
The 4th round match of the Scott’s Shield series was due to be held on the Top and Middle Cisterns on Sunday morning but both waters were frozen solid and the venue was changed to the Lostock Work’s length of the Trent and Mersey Canal – the only stretch of the Canal that was found to be free of ice. Not surprisingly, the fishing was incredibly hard with Alan Forster needing only 4 small roach that weighed-in at 0-1-6 to claim the maximum points on offer. Alan’s fish were taken on the pole at 10 metres with punch and pinkie as the hook baits. Second was Mark Emmison with 0-0-9 and the frame was completed by Chris Parry with 0-0-8 - both anglers’ catches comprising of a single gudgeon.
With 2 rounds to go in this six-match series, Arthur Kenney is leading the way with 59 points. Close behind are Mark Emmison with 58 and Chris Parry who has 56 points.
MATCH RESULTS - 27th DECEMBER
HARD GOING
Following a number of hard overnight frosts, Heesom’s Pool was half frozen over for last Wednesday’s match. Furthermore, only one angler, Peter Moore turned up, but after a short spell of margin ice breaking he decided to fish from peg 16. His reward was a net containing 5 perch and a skimmer for a weight of 1-13-0. Conditions were even worse for Saturday’s match on the Pool and, again, only one angler turned-up. This was Paul Lowe but, unfortunately, he failed to catch.
The 3rd round match of the Scott’s Shield series was held on the Trent and Mersey Canal at Billinge Green on Sunday morning. The fishing was extremely hard and Arthur Kenney needed just a single perch of 0-2-13 to secure the win. Arthur’s fish was taken in the track on worm presented on the pole. Second was Mark Emmison who landed four small gudgeon and a perch for 0-1-5. There was a tie for third place with both Steve Furfie and Chris Parry finishing the match with 0-0-11 each.
Leading the way at the half-way stage in this six match series is Arthur Kenney with 54 points followed by Calvin Tagg with 46 and Mark Emmison who has accumulated 34 points.
