Mal Doyle’s Top 3 challenge match.
Top 3 challenge match.
Today saw 20 anglers fish a top 3 section match which was the brainchild of top 2 specialist Malc Doyle.
The day started warm turning to rain for most of the match which was also cold which put the carp off feeding and also out of range.
There was a very close battle between Steve Wilson and Gareth Price on pegs 40 and 5 which was eventually won by Gareth with his weight of 105-01 to Steve’s 102-13.
