FAMILIAR FACES IN THE FRAME AGIN AT BOLDINGS.

Telford rod Andy Williams was on song again at Boldings Pools this week, adding two wins to his two runner up spots of last week. Andy opened with a ton winner on Wednesday, beating a trio of Hawthorn Pool weights comfortably with a Beech best of 102-11-0. Corn and maggot, fished in the side had carp from 1lb to 7lbs snapping up the bait.

Best of the three Hawthorn ‘framers’ was John Francis (Rod & Gun) who offered pellet close in and at 5 metres at peg corner 15 to find carp to 6lbs on his way to 71-6-0.

Along at peg 12 Tony Foster (OB Wolves) scaled 60-7-0 in third and diagonally Francis, at peg 7, last weeks double winner Pete Plant (Maver) took 4^th with 52-11-0.

The Hawthorn produced the top weight of the week for Paul Ferguson (OB Wolves) on Thursday, and also gave him his first ton weight. Opting for corn at 4 metres at 3, Paul netted carp to 9lbs on his way to 111-15-0.

Peg 15 on the hawthorn came up with the runner up catch for the second day running when Carl Foster (OB Wolves) alternated pellet at 5 metres with corn close in to tempt carp to 8 lbs for a total of 92-3-0. Peg 12 gave third again, this time to Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent) who was only just behind Foster on 91-14-0, and not far behind him, on 89-10-0 was Dave Barnard (Maver Wolves) at Hawthorn 9.

The Beech Pool took centre stage at the week-end, providing the top two weights on both Saturday and Sunday. Paul Cartwright (OB Wolves) led the way on Saturday, including a double figure carp in his winning 82-6-0, taken on corn at 5 metres at peg 18.

Carl Foster was second for the second time in two matches. He was on the peninsular, at peg 5, and had 75-11-0 on corn and pellet. John Francis framed again, netting an Ash Pool best 65-0-0 for third overall, and fourth went to a Chestnut best of 56-7-0 from Kev Williams (Wolverhampton).

Andy Williams finished the week in the style he started it, putting in another winning performance on the Beech Pool. This time he drew peg 20, and worked corn, close in for 87-11-0. That gave Andy 20lbs to spare over Pete Ricketts (New Willenhall). He was on the point on the Beech, and combined corn and pellet each side of the point for 67-6-0.

Simon Richardson (Maver) topped the Sycamore with 47-4-0 for third, then it was back to the Beech for 4^th placed Ralph Johnson (Bilston Ang Cent) on 41-8-0.
