MATCH REPORT: Ray Smith & Doug Genine Memorial
Jack’s Lake – 29 June 2025
21 anglers | 
Blazing heat | 
Tough fishing
A scorching day on the bank for a match in memory of two HAPS legends — Ray Smith and Doug Genine, founding members who helped shape the club we know and love today. 
It was great to see so many family and friends out to remember them.
Fishing conditions were challenging, with 9 dry nets 
and even one fish that slipped through a hole in Michael Carter’s net! 
(Possibly Jack’s Lake’s first ghost carp?!)
Golden Peg still unclaimed – £300
Silver Peg rising too – up to £171
RESULTS:
1st – Lester Parker – 27lb 5oz (Peg 46) 2nd – Spanner Atkins – 16lb 9oz (Peg 1)
3rd – Craig – 14lb 14oz (Peg 33)
Well done to everyone to braved the heat today
