River Championship > 2010
The 2010 Scottish National Rivers Championship got off to a start on Sunday 25th April on the Pitlochry AC stretch of the River Tummel. It was a difficult day with six of the ten competitors taking fish. David Deane (Pentland FF) had fish in all four sessions and finished in overall 1st place. Jim Fairgrieve (Edinburgh Breadalbane), James Litster (Neilston FF) and Mike Cordiner (Aberdeen & District AA) took fish on three sessions and finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Approximately 35% from each heat qualify for the final and David, James and Jim will go through to the final.
It is very good of Pitlochry AC to allow us to use their stretch of the river and their assistance is greatly appreciated. It was a long day for the ten controllers and we wish to thank them for giving their time in support of their colleagues.
