The 2009 Rivers Home International was held on 26th June on the River Taff in
South Wales.
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales took part in the competition with five
anglers per team plus one reserve.
Wales took first place in the competition with 92 fish, followed by England in
second with 63 fish, Ireland in third with 60 fish and Scotland taking fourth
place with 33 fish.
Hardy & Greys, Product Manager Assistant, Scott Nellins, who was Reserve for
the English team took part in the afternoon session’s after Simon Robinson
couldn’t continue due to injury.
Scott said;
"Beating Wales on their own patch was always going to be hard. They had a team
full of local anglers who knew the water well. In third place after the morning
sessions we dug in deeply to grab the silver during the afternoon."
Scott managed to win both of his sessions in the afternoon, fishing with a
10’ #3 Greys Streamflex Rod, Hardy Demon 3000 Reel and Greys Platinum WF3
Line.
