BOLDINGS REPORT  28/6/11.

 

          Sixth place on the Sunday open at Boldings was enough to confirm Kelvin Emlyn (Oakengates Angling  Centre) as the first winner of the Preston Innovations monthly Sunday league at the venue. The placing took him to 20 points while Shane Rogers (Oakengates Ang Cent) who was sharing top place in the points with Kelvin going into the final match of the month, failed to add to his tally and was joined on 17 points by Gareth Emlyn. There was then more bad news for Shane as Gareth had a better weight aggregate to take second place and relegating Shane to third.

 

          Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun) enjoyed victories at the start and the finish of the week, beginning with top spot on the Monday open when he led the way from peg 35 on the Chestnut. Maggot and corn fished to each side of the peg found carp to 8lbs and barbel to 2lbs to give Eric 106-1-0.

          Almost opposite the winner, at peg 4, Harry Colley (Preston Innovations Boldings) worked with pellet and meat to net a mix of carp and bream weighing 87-10-0 which gave him second. Two Weston Pools rods filled the remaining places with Josh Humphries taking third with his 64-12-0 at peg 21 and Dave Jones picking up 4^th with a level 60-0-0 at peg 30.

 

          Two anglers on opposite sides of the Ash Pool battled it out for first place on Wednesday, both fishing shallow pellet and both catching carp in the 1lb to 4lb bracket.

          Eventual winner Carl Foster (PI Boldings) edged ahead by four or five towards the end, finishing the match on 131-12-0 at peg 5.

          On peg 18 Andy Dyson (Cheshire) saw the scales settle at 119-11-0, leaving him in second. Just up from the winner Dave Matson (R&G) scaled 90-10-0 for third at peg 7 and Tony Foster (PI Boldings) collected 4^th with a Hawthorn top score of 61-0-0.

 

          Carl Baker (Stourbridge) pinched the top weight of the week from Carl Foster by 8 ounces when he took the honours on Thursday with 132-4-0. Peg 13 on the Chestnut was anything but unlucky for Carl, who battled with carp to 9lbs using paste at 6 metres and corn in the side, to record his victory.

          Pete Ricketts (New Willenhall) fished a straight lead and paste at Willows peg 13 and he also topped the ton with carp to 6lbs and barbel to 1lb for 101-8-0.

          Back on the Chestnut Howard Williams (Wrexham) had 95-12-0 for third at peg 32 and Carl Foster was in the reckoning again taking 4^th with 91-12-0 at peg 4.

 

          Shane Rogers may have missed out on the Preston league but was compensated with a win on the Saturday open when his was the best of three ton up weights in the frame. Maggot fished to each side of the point at Sycamore 8 had carp and barbel dropping into the net at regular intervals to give a level 113-0-0.

          Ralph Johnson (Bilston Ang Cent) also offered maggot at peg 16 and landed bream and carp for 103-5-0, just pipping Tony Foster who made his second frame appearance of the week with 102-11-0 from peg 13. Carl Baker added a fourth to his first of the previous day, just missing out on a ton with 99-5-0 at peg 4.

 

          Eric Bancroft was back in the driving seat on Sunday and back on the Chestnut Pool, this time on peg 23 where he fished close in to each side of the peg and to the island to pick off carp to 8lbs and bream to 3lbs on his way to 101-13-0.

          At peg 21 David Emlyn (Oakengates Ang Cent) used similar tactics for carp to 7lbs and barbel to 2lbs, the slightly smaller stamp fish leaving him 4lbs short of top spot on 97-14-0.

          Scott Doodson (Preston Innov) was over on peg 13 where 92-2-0 put him in third, just ahead of the second of the three members of the Emlyn family in the frame, Gareth, who recorded 91-14-0 at chestnut 34.

          Kelvin Emlyn was top man on the Willows with 86-6-0 which gave him three points to add to the 17 he already had in the league table.
