MATCH RESULT
Date : 16th July 2009
Venue : Frogmore
Match : Evening Match #5
| Commentary by Stan :
The whistle was due to blow at 8.45 but, by 8.30, I was thinking we should stop early as it had gone very dark. With just a few minutes to go and hardly any light remaining, Neil Anderson on peg 14 hooked into his 3rd carp of the night which may have been just enough to tip the balance. As the whistle went the skies opened and many of us found we had no wet weather gear plus packing up in the wet and dark is no fun at all. Therefore it was no surprise that many tipped back resulting in seven DNW's from 20 fishing. My 8lb of silvers was almost all in the first hour and, once they move away, it's carp or bust. Nick blew out with just one carp for his 7-06 and elsewhere on the tree-pit end it was hard going. Poor Connor lost SEVEN lumps on peg 13 before landing one at the end. He claims he was using 8lb line...I think he needs to check it !! On the island end plenty of fish had been showing and Alan Thomas did well on flyer 25 for 22-01 and 3rd place. Mostly small carp plus big silvers from the island. This just pipped Dave McGrath on peg 30 into 4th with 21-11 but still good enough for Dave to stay in contention for the League overall. Results were then mixed until we came to Frogmore regular Matt Young aka Mr Foxman. He was delighted with his draw on 7 giving him good access to the 3rd island. With 8 empty he made the most of it using his experience to put an excellent 24-01 on the scales. And then, finally to Neil on 14. With his three carp going 22-12 it would have been very very close without that last minute fish. When his silvers were added, caught shallow at 9m, he was a clear winner on the night with 31-12. |
