Sixteen (16) anglers attended this Sunday club match held across both Woodside and Island pools. Conditions on the day were similar to Saturday with plenty of cloud cover although temperatures were a little warmer and, by the afternoon, the sun was quite hot.
WOODSIDE
Winner on the day on Woodside pool was Nigel Hobday, who drew peg 10 close to the point of the island. Opting to fish 6mm hard pellet over fishery 6mm's short at top two plus one, Nigel found mainly carp up to approx. 8lbs to weigh in 76-05-00 to confirm a narrow victory. Nigel's efforts see him book his spot in next March's Match Angler Of The Year final.
Second place was taken by "Hodgie", who drew neighbouring peg 8. Again, like Nigel, most of Andy's fish came to pellet fished short to give him a final weight of 64-00-00.
Third place on Woodside pool was awarded to Cedric Holmes, who drew peg 17 on the dam wall. Again, pellet fished short accounted for most of his 57-04-00.

2nd | A. Hodgie | 8 | 64-00-00 | Pellet short |
3rd | C. Holmes | 17 | 57-04-00 | Pellet short |
ISLAND
Winner on the day on Island pool was Clive Mole, who drew in form peg 2. Fishing down his edge on pellet for most of the match, Clive found small 'stockies' in numbers to end the match with 88-11-00. Clive qualifies for the Match Angler Of The Year Final.
Second place was Paul Knight on neighbouring peg 3. Offering 6mm pellet over fishery 4mm's, Paul caught small carp averaging 1-2lbs to weigh in 73-02-00. Paul also books his place in next year's Match Angler Of The Year Final.
Finishing in third place from peg 15 on the point of the island was Michael Owens. Fishing a feeder over to the island to begin with, then shallow on the long pole later on, Michael found mostly carp alongside roach, rudd and skimmers to end the day with 55-02-00.
