President’s Cup – Round 4Today was the fourth round of the President’s Cup league, which was pencilled in at Newbridge. After several hours spent clearing weed during the week, the stretch was just about fishable for today’s match. Most of the pegs were fishable, although a few probably need another good going over before we look to revisit the venue.With the amount of weed that has built up this year, it’s been a real battle to get the river into a suitable condition, but the work put in during the week at least gave us enough room to get the match away.This meant we had enough room for 19 places for the Match we filled 17 of them this took us into the third field above Newbridge. The water was painfully clear, as you would expect, and the sun was out in force once again, which I’m sure didn’t help the fishing. It was hard going for most of the field, with everyone having to work hard for bites.We also had some very unusual wind conditions. The bottom half of the match had an upstream wind, while the top half had a downstream wind. I’ve never seen that before, with the two winds meeting somewhere around pegs 9 and 10. It certainly made for some interesting conditions depending on where you had drawn.But who managed to find some fish?Ian Burton certainly did, finding a peg full of fish on peg 10. He started catching quality Rudd and Roach from the off and, although he had a slower spell in the middle of the match, he managed to put together an impressive 11lb 5oz by the all-out.That was more than enough to run away with the win. 🏆To make it an even better day for Ian, he was also sitting on the Golden Peg, picking up a fantastic £100 bonus for his efforts. 💰In second place was Dan Baldwin, who also found some nice Roach early on. Unfortunately, this soon dried up and bites became very hard to come by. Dan battled on and eventually managed to put together 5lb 4oz, enough to secure second place.In third was Lee Stanley with 4lb 3oz. Lee also caught some quality Roach early in the match, but like many others, found the going extremely tough towards the end.Section WinnersThe A Section was a tie, with Rich Bradley and Andy Thomas both weighing in 2lb 13oz.The B Section was won by Steve Bishop with a very respectable 4lb 2oz.
