BOLDINGS REPORT
Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun) scored his second successive Monday win at Boldings by topping a tight frame this week on the Willows Pool. Fishing maggot and corn at 4 metres, alternated with dropping a bait in the margins at peg 19 just kept him in front as the match progressed, but there was no time to relax as Eric finished with only two pounds to spare at the whistle, which meant he needed every fish he had in the net.
Eric recorded an all carp 95-7-0 while at peg 13 Mick Jones (Kidderminster) was hot on his heels with 93-7-0, made up with carp to 5lbs and barbel to 2lbs, taken on pellet fished to the paddles.
At peg 7 Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent) finished on 90-2-0 in third and Josh Humphries (Tricast Weston Pools) had 83-14-0 at peg 9 for 4th.
