This all started 7 years ago with two of my local clubs, Wirral Borough AC and Rivacre AC, competing for a small trophy and raising funds for Claire House. It soon became the Tri-Club challenge as a third club, Egremont Ferry AC got involved and after 4 years we'd raised £14,305.

Over the last three years Colin & Linda Cook have taken this to another level getting even more clubs, local fisheries. local press, tackle shops and even pro anglers involved as well as organising a annual gala presentation night and with everyone's efforts last was another record with £17,561 raised making it more than £64,000 donated in 7 years which I'm sure you will agree is an incredible achievement!

This year the match itself is Sunday 3rd November and I just want to play my part in the event that is the first date in my fishing calendar each year.

I believe 2019 will again see 96 angers in 12 teams competing across a number of local fisheries on the day. Match winnings from the day invariably end up being donated to Claire House and most of the local Wirral tackle shops support the event, along with some of the national fishing tackle companies, who provide outstanding prizes for the raffle and auctions on the Gala Presentation night which is 9th November 2019.

I was fortunate last year to raise over £900 but I have set a more modest £500 target this year as I am always extremely grateful for the hugely generous donations from friends and acquaintances. I will again be adding my bit to the total by donating any winnings I am lucky enough to receive from fishing matches, between now and 3rd November, so to the anglers reading this, please feel free to let me win a few bob.........it's for a great cause!
