Aldin Grange Result
Tue 1 Jul, 2008
We had a poor turnout for this match with only 10 taking part,some
having work commitments,holidays etc.The day itself was warm with a
blustery wind blowing down from peg 1 to 14 which is where we were
pegged.The draw went ahead with most hoping for the higher numbers with
fish following the wind.The usual moans and groans ensued apart from
match secretary Ian Foster who drew peg 14 followed with the usual
quips of 'did you have that glued to your finger','that'll be right'
and 'lucky B£()@?'.
With pressure on his shoulders Ian masterfully won with a bag of
ide taken on the long pole with maggot and carp from the margins on
pole using pellet or paste.Keith Garrett (peg 9) was a sore loser in
second place with ide taken on long pole or whip tactics and a few
tench and carp from down the the middle,claiming he could have won if
he didn't mess about on the whip.Third place was taken by Chris Smith
who fished pole and maggot for a mixed bag.
