TWO Herefordshire schoolboys took each other on in a fishing challenge to raise money for charity - and landed over £200 in sponsorship.
Ben Reynolds, from Brimfield, and Joe Paget, from Kingsland, both aged 12, thought up the idea as a way of raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
The competition took place at Froggats Pools, near Ludlow, with Joe landing the biggest fish at four and three quarter pounds and the friends catching 25 in total.
The boys, from Wigmore High School, would like to thank their friends and family for sponsoring them and their science teacher Amanda Townsend for helping to organise them as well as Leominster shop Go Fishing with Dave and Weobley Mower Services for their help.
