Run alongside the popular winter league the knockout has proved to be a popular addition.  Drawn FA Cup style it pitches one Angler against another and is decided on weight on the given day.  Plenty of banter flys back and forth as the field slowly but surely reduces from 30 down to the 2 finalists.

Through to battle it out were Kevin Tipton and quite fittingly match organiser Bob Harris. I say fittingly as Bob as now stepped down after 6 years of running matches alongside Nev Bailey. In a really nice touch the lads put together and presented Bob with a gift voucher for fattys Tackle and also a bottle of his favourite tipple. Many thanks Bob for all your hard work!!

Back to the final and Bob and Kev  couldn’t be separated has they battled it out to the proverbial nil nil draw with both anglers dry netting.That meant a share of the spoils as they split first and second prize.

Below All smiles Kev and Bob
