A big turnout for the Black Boy saw fourteen (14) anglers line the banks of Woodside pool. Conditions on the day were extremely wet with rain lasting for the full duration of the match, which was fished between 9:30am - 2:30pm.
Winner on the day was Dennis Clarke, who drew peg 13. Opting to alternate between pellet and corn hookbaits fished down his edge, Dennis eventually found feeding fish to weigh in 25-13-00 of all carp to win what turned out to be an extremely tough match.
Runner-up on the day was Craig Yeomans from peg 4. Again, targeting his edges produced most of his catch, which was taken on maggot and worm hookbaits, for a final 21-08-00.
Concluding a pretty uninspiring top three finish was Steve Bagley from peg 21 with 19-10-00. Steve caught mostly carp on dead red maggot fished down his edge.
