HEADFEN LAKES

SECTION wins had to be used to separate the top three teams in an exciting finale to the Headfen Teams of Four series on Sunday.

The day began with Fox Match Stanjay Black in third spot behind Lewis’s Anglers World and home team Blue Boys, but three section wins on the day from Paul Hendy, Simon Easey and Tim Dabrowa and a sixth from a poor peg from Ricky Young gave Stanjay Black a clear victory on the day.

Suffolk’s Finest took second spot on the day, leaving three teams all on 12 points after the five matches, with section wins used to separate the teams.

Blue Boys had two section wins, and Lewis’s Anglers World three, meaning that Fox Match Stanjay Black’s six section wins were enough to seal the win for them.
