Popular angling league off to a smooth start
Ladysmith took the early lead in the team competition
The NFWAA league competition kicked off at Richgate Park, with Atlas Towlines as its new sponsor for the 2023/2023 season. Ardent Chelmsford angler and owner of Atlas Towlines, Clive Pillay, did not hesitate to take the mantle from the previous sponsor. Cash and prizes to the value of R4000 for the season will be handed out at each of the six league outings.
Rehaz Khan of Ladysmith and Zaakir Pingri of Endumeni emerged as the respective winners of the non-scaled and scaled categories during the first league outing of the season, which took place at Richgate Park.
‘Angler of the Day’ Joey Samuels beat all and sundry by accumulating 10 points on what proved to be a difficult day for most. Joey thus occupies the early lead in the ‘Angler of the Year’ competition, which will undoubtedly be hotly contested until the last league.

Ladysmith took the early lead in the team competition with a total of 37 points, followed by Chelmsford on 26 and Itec Freespool a further point behind. Fourth place went to Docrats on 21 points, followed by Endumeni (13), Ace Aqua (9) and Riverside (6).
The second round of the NFWAA Atlas Towlines league will also be held at the same venue due to the poor conditions of the facilities and infrastructure at Sanford Islands. The KZN Liaison Committee is however addressing some of these issues with Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife in an attempt to improve conditions for anglers and visitors to the resort.
