Stillwaters beat seasoned teams and tops the league

Besides the water level of the dam receding, there seems to be a drought with regards to the catches of late.
The VME League 3, fished at Richgate Park on October 16, produced a major upset as the less fancied contingent of Stillwaters Angling Club topped the league beating the seasoned teams. Stillwaters scored an impressive 45 points, followed by the ever improving Ladysmith Angling Club on 43 points, Breakwaters (35 points) while both Challengers and Dannhauser Angling Clubs tied on 14 points.
The current league log standing sees Breakwaters on (26 points); Stillwaters (20 points); Ladysmith (20 points); Challengers (17 points) and Dannhauser on 5 points.
The top angler of the day was Sikander Amod of Stillwaters who scored 15 points, earning the orange cap, an outright trophy and R200. He also caught a Barbel of 6,9kg.
The leading angler is Yusheer Govender of Ladysmith Angling Club on 16 points who just edged out Monty Slabbert also on 16 points, the former having caught more fish.
