A great turn out for a really good cause. 46 people fished this Charity Match in aid of Prostate Cancer UK. Thanks to the generosity of all involved the match raised £660!
We had some great prizes donated and anglers were generous, the raffle raised over £300! Paul Mitchel's awesome lemon drizzel and choclate cakes raised £20 and big thanks to the Lacon's Angling club who fished the Top Lake, they not only bought raffle tickets, helped weigh in (cheers Phil!) but also had a whip round and donated £24!).
Huge thanks for the support from Mike at MAP, Ian at SonuBaits , Brad at Pallatrax , and the guys at Frenzee and Old Ghost who all gave generously for the event and made the raffle possible.
Thank you Gerald Martin for donating back the Drop Net to the next raffle!

Match Results
The top three from each lake are below. We paid out Lake winners (and 1st and 2nd in the super pool) and two section winners.
Matt Wiles worked hard to keep the fish going at Willow. He started fishing on the bottom at 13ms on pellet then caught a few shallow onthe waggler. He also had a few ont he pellet feeder and then had about 30lb in the last 45mins on short pole fishing with meat. The bulk of his weight came to feeder and the short meat line.
