Slabs take the bait in Furzton's charity bash

CHARITY match winner Steve Roe with organiser Paul Chapman

Way back from that Ray Baker made second with 38-4 followed by 'Moz' Williams on 33-12 in a match, organised by Paul Chapman and friends, raising some £450 for Haemochromatosis Awareness.

Thanks to the Parks Trust the far bank was 'in' enabling the event to include a 'pole only' sweep which saw class act Ernie Sattler win with 24-8 of roach with Richard Lattimer on 23-11 as Paul Abbott had 22-9.

FURZTON was over-shadowed by Lodge in the previous week's summer league round fished on both lakes plus Tear Drops – with top weight coming from Lodge as Maver MK White's Roger Clutton had 53-12.

DAVE Bell and his lad shared 8 nice carp overnight on Furzton

Top team on the day were MK Black with 48-6 after tying on points with Black Horse Black (38-11).

'Black currently lead overall on 45 with Maver MK Green on 43, 'Horse Red on 40 and Tackle Hub (help the aged) on 39.

WOLVERTON Mill is a different place since MK Parks Trust spent two days on it with their weedcutting boat and some MK bailiffs spent hours returning small fish caught up in the cut weed. Later, Chris Barrett had four carp out on floaters, and Tony Lawrence a few, too.

MKAA had treated both lakes with blue dye back in May but the weed came back as though on steroids!
