Monday Night Sweepstake

23rd June 2008
The contrast in conditions to the previous day's grueller couldn't have been greater as the competitors were bathed in bright, warm sunlight with a light breeze for the second of the season's Monday nighters. Another encouraging turnout saw Bill Todd take first place with an impressive catch of Tench and Roach/Chub hybrids for 14lb 12oz.

Second was the previous days victor Graham Johnson with 2lb 8oz of bits with one decent Bream, with third place going to me with 1lb 7oz of small roach on short pole-fished maggot & pinkie from Peg 3.

There's already been a noticeable increase of interest in the S&DAA matches this season with some pleasing attendances, which makes for more competition and more enjoyable sessions. More information sheets have been & continue to be posted in local tackle shops, advising members of the match details, so the prospects are bright for S&DAA match fishing.

RESULT:

1 - Bill Todd 14lb 12oz
2 - Graham Johnson 2lb 8oz
3 - Mark Rimmer 1lb 7oz
