Club Championship 17th June 2012
The Newbury AA Club Championship got under way at Willows on 17th June. This is where the competition is serious! Fished by a decent field of 18 anglers, it was likely to be a close match, eventually the top three getting over 30lb each, but then nobody else got near them. Interesting several small carp showed, which could indicate fish are breeding. The top weights were:
Ashley Blunt with 8 fish for 39lb 5oz out of peg 48 on method feeder and pellet waggler
Adrian Ager with 5 fish for 31lb 8oz from peg 42 on method feeder
Dave Chandler with 4 fish for 30lb dead from peg 38 on method feeder
Other weights were:
J. Heavers 8lb 12oz; B. Pallett 8lb 8oz; R. Durnford 8lb 1oz; B. Cripps 6lb 11oz; J. Purton 4lb 9oz; D. Smith 3lb 6oz; R. Wiggins 1lb 2½oz; L. Pallett 1lb dead; L. Durnford 11oz; P. Purton 1oz.
Well done to Pete for weighing in a pellet for 1oz.
The next round is Speen Moors on 15th July.
