DCAC Duo Lead England to a Gold Victory
Paul Sissons (Manager) and Susan Sissons (Captain), led the England Ladies Flyfishing Team to victory at the Ladies Home International Championship on Llandegfedd Reservoir, Wales on 18th June 2010.
This was a long awaited victory since England's last victory 4 years ago.
Such a long run without a win has never been seen before and the England Team were keen to make amends this year. The team were focused and really pulled together under the leadership of Paul and Susan and won a deserved victory, with Scotland second and Wales third (unfortunately Ireland were unable to attend this year).
