2008 S&DAA Summer League - Week One

22nd June 2008 - John Ball Trophy

Wind, wind & yet more wind. Conditions started bad and got steadily worse as the match went on. The majority of the anglers who took part resorted to the tip rod as the storm force winds made pole fishing almost impossible.

One angler who braved the elements and fished on the pole was match and 2008 John Ball Trophy winner Graham Johnson, who finished with 30lb 9oz of Bream.

Second was Dave Wright, who took small skimmers and three Bream including one just under 5lb for a finishing weight of 13lb 10oz. Third was Melanie Bates who fished the short pole at 5m to take three Tench for 11lb 3oz.

RESULT:

1 - Graham Johnson 30lb 9oz
2 - David Wright 13ib 10oz
3 - Melanie Bates 11lb 3oz
4 - Frank Simpson 7lb 0oz
