The Sheffield Cup event was fished at Wolla Bank, Chapel St Leonards, with anglers struggling to catch in a rough sea and strong north-westerly wind. Thirteen-year-old Josh Shorthouse, from Northampton, was in the money again, easily winning on this occasion with a nice 1lb 6oz bass, which also took the heaviest round fish prize.


Bob Foster, of Kettering, managed to extract a 6oz flounder for second place and the heaviest flatfish award, while Dennis Stirling, also of Kettering, came in third with a tiny 2oz flounder.


Light winds and a flat calm sea greeted anglers in match 14 held from Drake Road. This match incorporated the annual mixed pairs event, with lady anglers faring well against their male counterparts. Lincoln's Rosie Jackson was a very popular winner, catching a silver eel, a small flounder and a whiting at close range for 15oz and her first ever match win.


A half ounce behind in second place was Northampton's Dennis Stirling, with two tiny whiting, a small dab and a 31cm coalfish, which also took the heaviest round fish prize.


The only local to frame was consistent Alan Steadman, from Wrangle, who took the heaviest flatfish award and third place, with a nice 14oz flounder.


Alan partnered Jessica Thomas, of Benington, to win the mixed pairs event for their second year in succession, with a combined weight of 1lb 11oz.


The next SPAC match will be held on Sunday, October 12, from 2.30-6.30pm at North Shore Road, Skegness, for the Dave White Cup.
