ITEC Freespool crowned league champion
The angling of the day started slow with fish hard to come by. The underwater vegetation left anglers frustrated, as they had to overcome stuck lines and in the process lost fish and traces.
NEWCASTLE – The fifth and final Top Parts league of the Natal Fresh Water Angling Association (NFWAA) is done and dusted.

The mighty Itec Freespool battled against Riverside Angling Club in Zone D and shocked the opponents with their catches, beating them with the score line of 45 points to 6.

At the end of the day, the defending champion, Itec Freespool was crowned League Champion for the 2016/2017 season. The club was unbeaten for the season.
