brilliant stuff that cheers for the link.. even saw a young lad using a centrepin on the slideshow of fotos!! quality that!

All gone quiet on this one........looks like everyone is stumped


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?

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

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

crappity smack it

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

i think its because its a back door at aintree TK

I might have gone on that match, is it Warrington

Nope Bill

maybe Northern aa or stockport ?

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

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

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

Dunno to the first part MrV but nope it aint to the second...........



That's gid the team name away then

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 !

Well obviously it was Stockport then !!!!

Well obviously it was Stockport then !!!!

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'

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

What section did you draw in Bill
