Itec Freespool crowned league champions
Itec Freespool did battle against Riverside Angling Club and shocked their opponents with their catches thus beating them
The fifth and final Top Parts league of the Natal Fresh Water Angling Association (NFWAA) is done and dusted.
The event took place at Sanford Islands zones A,B,D and E. The day’s angling started off slow with fish hard to come by. The underwater vegetation left anglers frustrated, in that they had to overcome stuck lines, and in doing so, losing fish and traces. Docrats Angling Club went head-to-head with Glencoe Angling Club in zones AB and emerged victors by 19 points to Glencoe’s 1 point. The mighty Itec Freespool did battle against Riverside Angling Club in zone D and shocked their opponents with their catches thus beating them with the score line of 45 points to 6.
Chelmsford Angling club took on newcomers Endumeni Angling Club and won the day’s battle by scoring 25 points to 3. At the end of the angling day the defending champions Itec Freespool were crowned League Champions for the 2016/2017 season. The club was unbeaten for the season. Dawie Carrolissen of Freespool reeled in the heaviest carp for the day weighing 3.45kg and Junaid Iqbal of Docrats, the heaviest barbel of 3.07kg. Both anglers earned themselves R250 in cash sponsored by Top Parts of Newcastle. The knockout final will take place on May 7 at Richgate and this year will see a three-way final between defending knockout champions Itec Freespool, Docrats and Riverside. The Top five compo will be the last outing for all clubs towards the end of the season whereby the top five anglers of each affiliated club will compete for a grand prize of R3 000 cash.
