The weekend saw two great competitions fished at Oaklands. The first was the ever popular KAI charity Shield and the second was the final event in the Oakland’s own Summer League…

KAI report on their fund raiser…
23 September: Another year, another Charity Shield event. What a day it was as well. The rain held off and the weather stayed mild so everyone could enjoy a day out. Well done to everyone involved, and a huge thank you to everyone who supports the event, without it we wouldn’t be able to host such a fantastic day.
Together we raised €3365 that will be split between the 2 nominated organisations.
Well done to the winners:
Teams – Oaklands – with a combined weight of 143kg.
Individuals – John Thompson – with winning weight off 44kg.
Under 18s – John – with a weight of 19.8kg.
I would like to take this chance to thank each and every person that helped raise money and got involved on the day, your all superhero’s.
