Looks like it's time for a clue (or two)

Clue no 1 - They were national Junior Champions, just pictured after their victory........

Somewhere down Swindon area?

#8

Is it the leeds liverpool canal as it looks like aintree, maybe Northern aa or stockport ?

#9

Some amazing lateral thinking there C W H

Just dunno how you got to Aintree from that picture

Yep it was on the L/L canal

And yep it's one of the two teams you mention

I've been to Aintree a few times as well.
I might have gone on that match, is it Warrington?

There you go Bill - a 50/50 chance of pinching it off C W H

MrV · #13

Is that Dave Brogden, front left? If so, it could be Northern

#14

Dunno to the first part MrV

but nope it aint to the second...........

That's gid the team name away then

#15

Think I fished it TK for Derby juniors (we came 5th). Those steps were near to the draw / results.
On a sad note I remember Claire Legge ( later to become dagnall) fishing for birmingham ( Starlets) and Kevin Ashurst's son both fishing it, who are sadly no longer with us.
I remember having exactly a pound of small perch which was good points in my section !

#16

Well obviously it was Stockport then !!!!

#17

Well obviously it was Stockport then !!!!

#18

By the way C W H, well done with the good section points,

shame you didnt pick up a team medal

The accompanying note with the picture reads........... 'A team of youngsters from Stockport, Cheshire raced to a brilliant win in the 1978 National Junior Championships held on the Leeds-Liverpool Canal. They scored 611 points to beat arch rivals from Birmingham who finished second'

#19

I got that fooker wrong then.
Pretty sure I was there as well
