A wet cold evening didn’t put the fish off ,on this our final evening match. The pairs are drawn for this event , although the top three places didn’t need their partners weight !
Rhys’s almost 70lb catch from peg 4 was enough for victory on its own. His long pole luncheon meat approach, was backed up by Darren on peg 18.
Nathan and Roger came in second on pegs 16 and 2 respectively.
The evening matches have once again proved very popular with our members who have generally enjoyed good weather throughout the series and long may they continue.
