The final match of this season's Over 70s League was a hard-fought contest on Dobsons Lake. The morning was mild but windy and each angler was looking for an edge. Although drawing 6th choice in Jim's Rover Match, Dave Smith was able to get favoured Peg 5. From here he won the match fishing tight against the island with 23lbs 3oz, made up of two carp, one large bream and some skimmers. Second place went to Henry Sadler fishing Peg 30 with two tench plus roach and perch for 9lbs 12oz. Third place was Brian Pallett with 5lbs 15oz.

 

Hearty congratulations to Brian Pallett, who wins the league by 2 points, having finished as runner-up in 2021. Second came Dave Smith on 34 points, third Richard Wiggins 33 points and fourth Bill Bowsher 30 points.
Henry Sadler.
