We had 9 anglers from City Academy representing the Norwich SSP fishing for places in the Sainsbury's Norfolk School Games frinal.

The 3 hour match was on the Match Lake, all anglers caught fish and all fished a very good match with great fish care and handling and lots of focus.

The top 6 anglers went through to make 2 teams of the 3 for the final which is to be held on Friday 23rd June on all lakes at Barford.  Congratulation to Josh Denmark who had an awesome weight of 36lb 8ozs and was the top weight on the day.
