Phil's day

Hi everyone, the BSDAS club held it's annual over 65s match at Hall Farm on Friday, only 7 contested the trophy so the match was held on one bank. Jeff Pearson was organising the match and all went smoothly. I drew peg 3 in itself a good peg but peg 2 was the outright flyer so the fight was on, Terry had peg 2 and I know he is in it to win it. The only other peg that I thought was threat was peg 8 that had produced the goods 2 days ago. The match has been in progress for a couple of hours and Tel was thrashing me - he probably had 50lbs to my 5lbs so all was not looking good but never say die. My fish started to move to the margins by 1 pm and I started bagging - I knew it was all too late but you can never tell. I finally ended up weighing in with a respectable 90lbs 15 oz

1st Terry Moranda with 122lbs 4oz, 2nd Phil Whitmill with 90lbs 15oz, 3rd John Carter with a credible 85lbs 15 oz, well done to all on a blazing hot day. Pic is of Terry Moranda the new champ.
