Vat so katvis!
Die BOLS (Burgersfort Ohrigstad Lydenburg
& Steelpoort) Hengelklub het Sondag 23
September ‘n Baber Kompetisie op ‘n plaas
net buite Burgersfort aangebied.

vang. Daar was ook ‘n glybaan vir die kinders
om af te koel in die hitte.
In die junior afdeling het Mia Broodryk die
swaarste baber uitgehaal. Tweede was Anni-
ka Blignaut en derde Matthew Swanson.
In die senior afdeling was Johan Prinsloo die
