On Sunday the 14th Waterford and District Coarse Angling Club held the 2nd match in their master angler series. Oaklands was the venue and it looked very fishy with clam and warm conditions. In the end though, the fishing was tricky with lots of fish up in the water, taking advantage of the warm sunshine.
Eventually fish started coming to the net with all methods, pole, feeder, and waggler all enjoying success. At the finish end pegs made the difference with joint winners Liam Conway and Mike Norris followed closely by Donatus and Dudley. There was a special mention to junior Jack Norris who pushed the top anglers closely and only for a couple of lost fish may have been the winner himself on the day.
- 1st Liam Conway and Mike Norris 48lb 08oz
- 3rd Donatus 45lb 07oz
- 4th Dudley 42lb 14oz
- 5th Jack Norris 39lb 12oz
