Dave Pankhurst Memorial Trophy – 20th Sept 2015
A fantastic result for Ryan considering the level of competition
Report by Mick Roberts:
A bumper 49 anglers from near and far turned out for our annual open match in aid of The Heart of Kent Hospice.
The river was coloured and they decided to run it off during the course of the entire match making some methods virtually impossible.
Fish were caught though and some coped better than others as the result shows. When Drennan VDE angler Richard Taylor drew peg 12 downstream, which also happened to be end peg, alarm bells rightly rang. He won with 17lb 4oz of Roach to add his name to an impressive list of anglers already on the trophy.
Our very own Guy Usmar at last drew a decent peg (47) and landed 4 Bream and bits for 13lb 0oz and second place with Ian Germaney compleing the podium from peg 71.
The Heart of Kent Hospice will be recieving a cheque for £250 in the next few days.
Big thanks to George Howson, Mark Halls, Terry Jarvis and my son and her-indoors for assisting in the weighing in.
