Conditions not the best for anglers at Bottesford and District AA match on Grantham Canal




The latest Bottesford and District Angling Association match was held on Sunday on the Grantham Canal.

On a very warm and sunny day, 13 association anglers competed for the Norman Chenoweth Memorial Shield on the half mile pound.

As anglers know, very bright conditions are not the best for catching but, despite that, the match was won by Michael Corker with 5lb 8oz, followed in second place by Tommy Andrews with 4lb 14oz.
