Club members met up at George's lake, for our penultimate match, in our year-long series.
The unseasonably mild weather led to some very close weights. Darren scored his first victory with a great mixed bag from peg 14, the moderate Southerly wind encouraged him to fish the margins using maggot hook bait.
Second place went to Stephen on peg 16, another net taken on maggot on the pole. Keith took third on peg 13.
Our next, and final, match of 2022 will also be the Christmas competition.
