Rood Ashton Rave, 20 September 2009 (9 pegs)

Knowle West bagging machine, Alan Healy's recent return to form continued today (with a bit of help from the drawbag). Alan drew out peg 2 on the concrete outfall which, due to 2 members not showing up and leaving pegs 1 and 10 vacant, was the end peg flier!
Fishing paste close in Alan caught well from the off and ended up with a respectable 80lbs 2oz which was a good weight considering that the venue had been home to a large gathering of "ravers" for the weekend!
Around the corner on the "golden peg" (5), match secretary and winner of the prestigious Knockout Trophy, Steve Burgess, also fished paste at 6 meters to his right hand margin to give Alan a good run for his money but at the end of the day there is only so much that can be achieved from an average peg and he had to make do with 74lbs and second place (just one fish short of claiming the £100 golden peg pot)!
Meanwhile, Mark Radford, with a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp, had drawn peg 11 (complete with underwater tree branches and a "raver" having a morning paddle in the lake), and despite having a slow start, managed a trademark late charge to put 50lbs 14oz of paste-caught carp onto the new digital scales and almost broke into a smile. That was until he remembered that he had lost six of his best paste rigs to the underwater forest in front of him!
Mark Britton, on peg 11, followed in 4th place with 42lbs 2oz caught on soft pellet.
Mark, have a word with the "pasteheads" to see how it's done!
