HAJAC Winter League

SUNDAY'S second round of the Winter League was fished with two sections on Raveley Drain, two on Factory Bank and two on Ramsey Narrows.

Although all three venues are normally very consistent for winter fishing, the strong cold wind affected both Raveley and Factory Bank making catching both difficult and uncomfortable.

The top four anglers individually were from the Narrows with Hotrods' Stuart Northrop the winner with 9lb 11oz.

In second place was Dennis Priestley from Ship Shape Tackle with three Stanjay anglers taking third, fourth and fifth,

Brad Kendall, Ricky Young and Kye Jerrom.

Teamwise, it was Hotrods' reserves who took the honours finishing two points ahead of the Browning Stanjay A team and Browning Hotrods Red to leave Browning Stanjay leading the overall league at the halfway point.

Sunday sees the HAJAC winter pairs at Decoy Lakes with the final two rounds of the league after that.

RESULT (Individual): 1 Stuart Northrop Browning Hotrods Red 9lb 11oz, 2 Dennis Priestley Ship Shape Tackle 8lb 1.5oz, 3 Brad Kendall Browning Stanjay B 7lb 1oz, 4 Ricky Young Browning Stanjay A 6lb 11oz, 5 Kye Jerrom Browning Stanjay A.

Teams on Day: 1 Hotrods Reserves 28pts, 2= Browning Stanjay A/Browning Hotrods Red 30pts, 4 March AC 31pts, 5 Wades MG 32pts, 6 Brampton 35pts.

League: 1 Browning Stanjay A 4pts, 2 Browning Hotrods Red 6pts, 3 Hotrods Reserves 7pts, 4 March 8pts, 5= Ship Shape Tackle/Browning Stanjay B 11pts.
