19/7/2025 The Fifth Aggregate Match at Fladbury.
11 turned out for the Peter Whittingham Trophy match, we used pegs 2, 4, 7, 11, 13, 15, 17, 20, 22, 24 & 26. Recent scrambles have shown you need end pegs 2, 22, 24 or 26.
Result
Roger Middleton, Peg 26, 6-15-0, Pole & Maggot over the boat channel.
Frank Bagley, Peg 24, 6-8-0, Whip & Maggot.
Chris Gregory, Peg 22, 4-12-0.
Gary Buzzard, Peg 2, 3-13-0.
Match Summary;-
We started with drizzle on a day with torrential rain forecast but we had a sticky but dry day. Many tried the Hemp & Tares approach but they weren’t having it, on the whole the Chub, Roach & Perch had a day off although in the middle section there were reports of Pike taking decent fish. Going for the Dace on maggot while feeding & occasionally trying the Tares scored, again you needed the end pegs 2, 22, 24 or 26.
Thanks to Dave & Gary for weighing in.
Table;- The table shows Andy L, Dave U & Peter Witt on top but this will all change when we omit your two worst matches shown mid series.
