Ron Snook Memorial Match
Hayling Island 3rd
September 2006
The weather was overcast and there was a strong north easterly for the
3rd annual Ron Snook memorial match at Hayling Island. This meant the
anglers on the north bank had a stiff cross wind making it almost
impossible to present a bait on the pole, whilst those on
the south bank benefited from some shelter from the high bank
and therefore had the best of the weather. At the
draw the favoured pegs were those on the south bank and Martin
Kiy, Last years winner, drew the same peg on the
south bank as last year and was
hoping for a repeat of last years result. Joining Martin on
the South bank was Chris Gillott, the
winner of the 1st Ron Snook memorial so the scene was set,
could either of them take the title for a second time or would
a new name be engraved on the trophy?
The first two matches had been won with double figures of Roach on the
waggler, but today the lakes Rudd also fed and most anglers had over
5lb of small Rudd and Roach.
Top Junior for the second year running was Arron Jenkins with 7-2-0.
Arron
won a Rod holder and a selection of
goodies.
Top weight on the day was Chris Gillott from peg 34 with 20-2-0 of Rudd
and Roach taken on 4m whip and maggot. Runner up was Mark
Long from peg 25 with 12-10-0. Mark fished Corn on the waggler
over a bed of Hemp and had Roach to 10oz in his 12-10-0 net.
Third was Mervin Chadd from peg 8 with 11-8-0 which included
a 5lb Tench, and fourth was Marus Commons from peg 35 with 273 fish for
9-2-0.
