Cheadle Alliance Shield 2021 Second Round

01.02.21

We were the hosts for round 2 of this year's four–way inter–club battle, which was admirably judged by Keith Barber, who had forty–eight images to view and discuss. It was an evenly fought competition, with the total scores ranging from 205 to 214 points. Stockport's images gained the most points on the night however, Stalybridge are the overall leaders, albeit by the small margin of four points.

Thanks to Keith for giving his expertise and time to making the evening a success.
