The final Round and all to play for.

With a full attendance today it was going to be a close run thing to see who were going to be crowned Winter league Champions 2014 and who were going to win to race for third place as it was very close. With the day fairly cold the lake lookded lifeless except for the odd fish crashing in C section which today would see John Bennett And Steve Stayte fishing end pegs 18 and 22.

In A section Geoff Edwards would see himself drawn down on peg 40 and Pat Pritchard his main rival on peg 5 but both were upstaged by a brilliant winter catch of bream from Doug Robinson from moody peg 38 as he put 34-13 on the scales to beat Jim McCann’s carp weight of 32-07 {well done Doug}.

In B section saw the Seat Box Appreciation Society’s Kev Dolton peg 28 sitting next to his team mate Ian McCulloch on peg 26 but in C section and both struggled to catch any fish in numbers for their worst score in 6 rounds as they came last and second last in section allowing their main rivals to grow their points lead in todays match.

Star performer of the day was John Bennett on peg 18 who put a fantastic weight of winter carp on the scales and even had the luxury of losing 8 fish but that did not matter as he put 137-08 of fish on the scales to not only have top weight on the day but help his team to be crowned champions together with help from his team mates Geoff Edwards and Stuart Yeomans {very well done guys }

The Three Amigo’s Rolfslake Winter League Champions 2014

The battle for third place was eventually won by The Misfits well done guys.

After the match Pauline and John treated the guys to chicken and chips and then there was a raffle and a special visit from Santa.

The Battle for the title is hotting up.

With the weather a little milder than yesterdays minus zero temperatures there was a little hope that the fish would feed today but John tells me it was very tough for most anglers in round four of the winter league.

The top two teams have now opened up a big gap on third place and with two rounds to go looks like a two horse race but today The Seat Box Appreciation Society had a tough draw with pegs  40, 30 and 26 drawn compared to their draw of pegs 7,9 and 26. The main battle for these two team took place in the dreaded A section where steve Waters had draw peg 40 at the bottom of the small lake and was rewarded with a hard earnt silvers catch of11-08 only to be beaten by one ounce by Rob Woodwood with one carp of 11-09.

John Bennett in this section was on peg 7 and he caught 5 carp and a couple of bream to gain a few points on Steve but in sections B and C the points were shared.

After 4 rounds there are only two points seperating the top two teams with a three way tie for third place.

Roll on round 5.
