Match Overview

The latest interclub match with Billingshurst saw the closest match so far at Decoy, with twenty taking part, meaning the pegging had to be tighter than usual as most of the causeway is still under repair. The weights were still respectable with exactly one separating the top three – Norman Cragg from Hassocks coming out on top and claiming the Turner Cup from in form peg 26 with 43-1-0 all on the method feeder and wafters after discovering that his number four section of his pole was broken and unusable. Second was Ben Cooke on the opposite peg 12 who fished mainly pellet waggler all day but fell three ounces short with 42-14-0. Third went to Billinghurst’s Derek White who was 13 ounces behind Ben with 42-1-0 from peg 28 fishing the method feeder and catching down the margin late on. Hassocks came out on top by a considerable margin winning by nearly 95-0-0 counting the top four from each club .
