Challengers hit back
APL places on record its sincere appreciation to Veerath Dookie of Vees Micro Enterprises for the full sponsorship of the league for second successive season.
The VME League round two, held at Richgate Park on August 30, saw Challengers Angling Club topple the mighty Breakwaters outfit to avenge their defeat in the opening league competition.
This victory sees both teams tied on ten points, followed by the ever-improving Stillwaters on four points.
At a tense weigh in session, it was Challengers who made a clean sweep with Tony Singh finishing as “angler of day” on seven points, winning the Orange Cap, outright trophy and R200.
His counterpart, Dan Govender, retained the Purple Cap topping the log on 15 points. Challengers won R500 for winning league two. With each forthcoming competition the clubs, and as well as individuals, will be aiming for glory and this makes for an interesting and exciting season ahead.
Challengers accumulated 33 points, followed by Breakwaters on 29 points and Stillwaters on 16 points. Dan Govender caught the heaviest carp of 3,250kg while Nicky Le Roux of Stillwaters bagged the heaviest barbel of 2,140kg.
The top five anglers of Breakwaters/Stillwaters were Shakeel Sheik (six points); followed by Ossie Oosthuizen (five points); Nicky Le Roux (five points); Kidd Rampersadh (four points) and Vicky Bhooli (three points). Shakeel Sheik tops the log on nine points, hotly pursued by Kaveer Singh and Kidd Rampersadh on seven points.
The next competition will be the second round of the Champion of Champions competition for both Breakwaters and Stillwaters on September 13 at Richgate Park.
Fixtures under the auspices of the Angling Professional League will take well-deserved breaks due to the fasting period. The next competition of the APL will be round three of the VME League on November 8 at Sandford. The APL places on record its sincere appreciation to Veerath Dookie of Vees Micro Enterprises for the full sponsorship of the league for second successive season.
