This Gallery deals with the catch boards which are
placed behind every competing angler.

 
 

Catch boards are extremely important and an integral part of international matches. They inform all teams as to how their competitors are doing. There are no secrets on the bank, within reason everyone knows what everyone is doing. What these first six boards in C section show is how the section is starting to 'pan-out'. What is most noticeable is the English, Italian and Belgian catch rates for the first hour, in particular the Belgian Frans Schoubben. His rate emphasised the speed at which Belgian anglers were catching small fish, something which impressed England manager Mark Downes. These three countries shared three out of the top four section places, with England's Steve Hemingray ultimately winning the battle for the section and setting himself up with a 'golden' opportunity on day two.
