POWER-FUL DISPLAY IN WHITE ACRES FESTIVAL
Andy’s weights prove the decider in this nailbiter contest as the top two score the same points
WHITE ACRES MILO FESTIVAL (MON-FRI)
White Acres Holiday Park (180 pegs) FORMER UK champion Andy Power took this second festival of the season after scoring a perfect 36 points.
It needed weight to separate him from Mikey Williams after both men finished on the same points and with the same discarded section score. Andy began with a section win from peg 79 at Porth Reservoir. He took 12-1-0 of roach and skimmers on the waggler.
Day two and Bolingey Lake peg 38 gave him another nine points with 227-12-0 of carp on meat to win the lake.
Wednesday produced 77-2-0 of carp from Pollawyn Lake peg 12 for another section maximum.
Thursday saw a blip with second in section from the split Twin Oaks and Trelawney zone before he bagged another nine points thanks to a lake win with 120-10-0 of carp and F1s on Trewaters peg 51. He fished pellet feeder and long pole and pellet.
