BUCHAN PARK TROPHY - 12/07/2008
Only seven anglers were brave enough to take on the challenge of a twelve hour match
from 8pm on Saturday to 8am on Sunday. Unfortunately, unforcast rain arrived and was
quite heavy until 1am when it stopped for the rest of the night.
At the half way weigh-in, Phil Harris had 45lb and Steve Hill was second with 23lb 8oz and
they remained the only contenders for the rest of the night.
Phil used his favourite method of 'corn over bomb' and he was always going to be a
difficult man to beat. At the final weigh-in his total weight was an excellent 79lb
6ozjust short of the record for the match. Steve Hill put up a brave challenge but
his 56lb total was only good enough for second.
In third place was Callum Maccrassen who, at only 13 years old was up for the task and
managed a 1lb 12oz bag, so well done to him.
