ROB COX WINS THE FRIENDSHIP TROPHY WITH OVER 26 POUND TO SPARE
Rob Cox continued his fine form of late to win the clubs Friendship Trophy on Becketts Pool at Coppice Lane Fishery. Rob pulled out peg 13 which is situated at the far end of the pool and not a noted area for big weights, in fact this is the peg that most anglers don't want to pull out of the draw bag. It looked like early on that the peg would live up to it's expectation with Rob struggling to find any big fish until he changed to fishing the margins and he soon found the big Carp and he put 75lb 4oz on the scales to win with over 26 pound to spare.
Kieran Smith is another who did not fancy his peg when drawing 10 on the near side, Kieran fished the short pole throughout the match and like Rob had to wait for the bigger fish to show, eventually did and he put together 48lb 12oz for second place.
Paul Hotchkiss gained his best result of the season to date to take third place with 41lb 15oz, Paul like the leading two had to wait for the margins to produce, with a change of bait from pellet to paste they turned on.
Fishing in next peg to Paul, Sean Durrant collected the fourth place envelope when he put 38lb 6oz onto the scales which was mainly made up of Carp.
