Congrats to Adam Wakelin who walked away with the Daiwa Cup with an
individual total weight of 93.51kgs. Adam & partner Rob Wootton, were
crowned as the new World Pairs champion of 2014, this will make a great
addition to their World Feeder Championship Gold medal won just a couple
of months earlier! The two England Internationals had a massive combined
weight of 160.630kgs! Coming in second place were the brothers, Steve and
Phil Ringer, also part of the English Gold medal team with a combined weight
of 137.020kgs, with Grant Albutt with James Hawkins with 127.820kgs for
third. Well done to the other winners and sporting anglers too! Kudos to the
organising team especially to Helen who ran around like mad every day to
make sure everything went as planned!

Heading home & Lessons Learnt
What a brilliant week in Ireland! With surprisingly very good weather throughout (though not so ideal for fishing), fishing in beautiful locations among new
friends.

I don’t think I did too bad for my first introduction to Ireland! Fair play to
Kevin Locke for being my partner as he could be a serious contender although
Kevin is also the match director we were unable to fish for any of the massive
€15,000 sponsorship which amounts to the 1st and 2nd prizes in the Pairs.
