Steve Roberts (Oakengates Ang Cent) began 2012 with an emphatic win on the Bank Holiday open at Boldings Pools. He drew peg 40 on the Sycamore and was soon pulling clear of the rest with carp to 5lbs responding to his maggot attack on the 13 metre line, alternated with close in tactics.

Over on point peg 13 Pete Ricketts (New Willenhall) worked pellet at 5 metres and maggot at 12 metres to attract carp to 6lbs and skimmers to 2lbs but couldn’t maintain the same catch rate as the winner and ended the day on 52-8-0 in second.
Mark Lloyd (Oak Ang Cent) was in corner peg 6 where 42-3-0 gave him third and just behind him, with a Chestnut Pool best of 42-1-0 was Scott Doodson (Preston Innovations).
