Pairs League Round 9
Sunday 21st September
With the Indian Summer continuing everyone enjoyed another very hot and still day. It was the Pairs League Champions elect the Halwill Hustlers who were making all the hay as for the second match running they topped out both sections to score maximum points. Nathan Underwood (16lbs+) and Ian Gray (11lbs+) netted skimmers consistently throughout the day, both using the pole to good effect with Ian getting most of his fish on the inside line. The only challenge came from the Brendon All Stars where Matt Sampson netted a 9lb carp, lost another, and still found 5lbs of silvers for a 14lbs+ bag. Partner Tony Hilias bagged 6lbs+ of skimmers which was enough for them to secure second place. Consistent catches from Dick Turner and Duncan Edwards saw New Team Faint Heart home in third place as other Teams failed to get two good results together.
A poor day for the Codfathers who had been challenging for the league title all season was compounded with Me and My Boy pipping them for third place in the league by just 2 points.
