Match Overview

On a blustery day, which made for difficult presentation whether using a pole, whip, stick float or waggler, the favoured end pegs were the place to be drawn.In a close match it came down to one decent Bream of 3-4-0 which was landed by Rowland Smith on feeder and hair rigged corn along with a mixture of Roach, Chublets and Dace for his 5-13-0 winning net from peg one. Runner up by just two ounces was Dave Harper at opposite end peg ten with his of 5-11-0 which consisted of a 1-0-0 Chub and similar mixture of silver fish all caught on pole with maggot and pinkie. Third place went to river enthusiast Roger Bulman who weighed in 4-13-0 of mixed silver fish all caught on stick float with maggots. With this cup being fished over three legs as you can see nobody is completely out of the running, hopefully the next leg will not be quite so wind affected.
