MATCH RESULT

 

Date :       25th June 2009 

Venue :     Frogmore

Match :     Evening Match #2

 

Commentary by Nick Darke: Another excellent turnout for the second of six evening matches. This week the venue was Frogmore which has the reputation of fishing poorly during matches so most of us didn’t have very high expectations. It was a very warm evening and before the match we could see the carp all over the surface so it looked as though a few fish may be caught.

It didn’t take long for people to see some action. Matt Young on peg 9 and Ken Sharp on peg 10 were both into carp literally seconds after the whistle which got them off to a flyer. However things soon slowed down for both of them.

I managed to catch at a steady rate on peg 25 throughout the match fishing paste up to the island which proved enough for first place with 43lb and a new 3 hour match record !!

Kev Marslin came in second with 26lb 10oz with a bag containing three big carp for almost 21lb plus 5lb of some silvers.

Third was Graham Holt on peg 11 with a mixed bag of fish taken from the margins and 6m out, mostly on pellet.

Peter Fell and Paul Bangs both weighed in with a respectable 15lb+ to grab 4th and 5th place. A good evening for some although eight didn’t catch enough to bother the scalesman.

Next evening match is at Smallford
