Horseshoe lake at Sibson was the venue for the third and final round of the Wade Cup along with the Les Wiles Cup. Fifteen anglers took up the challenge of the club’s own lake, which had been in good form for pleasure anglers in recent weeks. Going into the final round Stuart Baxter held a 20lb lead over second place Antony Johnson, with Mike Moseley the winner of the Les Wiles cup in 2020 was looking to retain his title.
