Sundays Final was a great occasion as the conditions were good with blustery winds which could be to your advantage if your cast was timed correctly. A very large crowd had assembled on the banks of the famous Junction Pool of the River Tweed to witness this marvellous spectacle.
Yet again they saw some of the best casting ever to be witnessed in any competition in the world.
