Date: Saturday 10 June 2006 Venue: Hampton Springs, Malpas, Cheshire Participants: 60 Juniors
England’s footballers may have only found the net once on Saturday, but the young anglers from Mosella Farnborough filled their nets to take the NJAA Knockout trophy at Hampton Springs. And whereas Beckham and co. may not have played to their full potential in Frankfurt, Farnborough put in a near perfect performance to secure the win and claim their first NJAA win in style. The odds looked to be slashed at the start of the match, and a close competition was expected between the 2 pre-match favourites, Farnborough and last year’s winners Worksop, who both drew the end pegs. However it was Farnborough who were clear winners, with 2 section wins, 3 seconds and a third for a points score of just 12. Afterwards, Farnborough manager Colin Dance paid tribute to his team and said that their decision to target small fish rather than sit it out for carp had worked. There was a tie on points for 3rd place between the Coventry Canal Juniors and Pride of Derby Juniors. Coventry claimed the podium place after a count-back on weight revealed they had managed 5kg more than their fellow Midlands rivals. The individual match was a close affair. Anglers across the Hampton Springs complex were catching on all baits, with corn, worm, meat and pellet all bringing fish regularly to the net. All pools were producing roach, crucians, tench and skimmers, with small carp, odd barbel and chub featuring too. Rock pool fished the most consistently, with crucians and small tench making up the bulk of catches, although none of the anglers in A and B section managed to top 20lbs. The big fish action was happening on Long Island pool which hosted D, E and F sections. A head-to-head battle developed between Worksop’s Marc Playforth pegged on the island F section, and Barnsley’s Danny Fugler halfway along E. Both anglers had tempted decent carp, but the result swung Marc’s way in the final hour as he took an extra 3 lumps on the long pole to contribute to his 17.9Kg total (approx 40lbs). Danny Fugler (Barnsley Juniors) managed 15.83Kg which was good enough for runner-up spot, with Worksop rod Jason Goulding taking 3rd with the top weight off Meadows (14.23Kg)
