ITEC Freespool returns the favour

League 5 of the Natal Fresh Water Angling Association (NFWAA) was fished on Sunday at Islands in Ntshingwayo (Chelmsford) Dam. Itec Freespool was fixtured to challenge Docrats angling club of Dundee.

Zones were drawn at 5am and the two rival clubs drew C zone, much to the disappointment of most anglers.

Never the less, anglers of both clubs went out to make the day memorable, as both clubs were tied for the top position on the log with three fixtures remaining for the season.

The day started quiet for most of the anglers and social media was more alive than the biting fish, as angles were keeping team mates up to date on every fish landed by each club.

Itec Freespool anglers, Quintus Oosthuizen and Ronnie Rampersdah had the opponents scratching in their bait boxes early to counter their early haul of fish. By midday the opponents were reeling in some good catches. Itec Freespool anglers had to change gear and counter their catches. At the close of scale both teams looked nervous as the fish were being weighed.

Itec Freespool emerged victorious by 135 points to Docrats’s 90 points. This win put Itec Freespool on top of the table with 12 points and their rivals stuck on nine points with two more leagues to the end of the season. Top anglers for Itec Freespool were Quintus Oosthuizen with 35 points, Ronnie Rampersadh on19 points and Jermaine Mohan on 16 points.

Itec Freespool anglers were delighted at the end of day as the club returned the favour when Docrats knocked them out of the knock-out format of the competion two weeks ago.

The president of the club, Clifford Robson, thanked all anglers for their hard work and dedication on the day to pull this victory out of the bag. The club’s next opponent will be Glencoe angling club on March 15.
