Day Two
Nervousness and trepidation has gone out of the window, all the ladies have seemed to have bonded and as well as sharing drinks in the bar they are also sharing baits on the bank! The weather is still not the best but at least we are having showers not down pours and the wind is not too strong.

Day Three ~ The Final!

A shake up!!
After two days of fishing in the same sections there is now a move about. We are changing the sections to give everyone a chance to win some money, rather than seeding the match from the start we have used the first two days to gauge the ladies abilities and have put them into the relevant zones. The two lakes have been split into 4 zones.

ZONE A: Pegs 11,13,14,16 & 17
ZONE B: Pegs 4,5,7,8 & 10
ZONE C: Pegs 19,20,22,23 & 25
ZONE D: Pegs 26,28,29,31 & 32

Zone A being the more favourable pegs moving down to Zone D which are considered the more challenging pegs. The top 5 will fish zone D, the next 5 fishing zone C, the next 5 fishing zone B and the bottom 5 fishing zone A

Everyone has agreed this is the fairest way for the final day of the competition and there are a lot of excited ladies heading for the lakes.

Twin Oaks (zone a & b)
The shake up as had a great affect on the fishing and has provided some new names with some well deserved cash wins. First on the lake goes to Heather Dewey on peg 7, Heather fished the pole in the margins with hemp and caster catching mainly carp for a total weigh of 39lb 11oz. Valerie Hillier picked up second on the lake with 34lb 14oz, Valerie on peg 5 fished the pole close in the margins and up in the water with meat catching varying sizes of carp – the biggest being 4lb. Pat Kavanangh on peg 17 picked up third on the lake with 26lb 14oz.

Twin Oaks (zone c & d)
Fishing on the more challenging pegs has done wonders for the ladies today and with another lake win it is easy to see why Wendy Locker fishes for the White Acres England Ladies team. Wendy Locker on peg 28 picked up first on the lake with 36lb 2oz. On peg 19 Catherine Furness picked up second on the lake with 33lb 4oz, Catherine fished meat on the long pole at 8 meters and also down the edge catching mainly carp at 1 1/2 lbs. Wendy Halliday came in third on the lake with 25lb 5oz, Wendy fished maggot on the feeder from peg 32 catching carp early on and a few skimmers later in the match.

The Winners
A victorious (and wet – her team mates and other fellow competitors felt she deserved a dunk in the lake for her win) Wendy Locker emerges as White Acres Walls Solero Ladies Festival Champion 2005. Wendy has fished consistently over the three days and her hard efforts have paid off and netted a cool £1000 for her win, finishing on 13 points the final result went down to weight and with weighing in 127lb 13oz in total, a great festival for her.

Catherine Furness (daylite baits) has also put in a solid performance and finished with 13 points but by having a lower weight (115lb 13oz) leaves her handing over her title and taking second place this year, Catherine is not complaining though she picked up £500.

Rita Bell finishes the festival third overall with 12 points and a weight of 116lb 15oz, Rita picks up £400.
