Craig Dougherty shows off the hand which held a $50,000 catch at the University Oval on Saturday. At the crucial moment, with the money speeding towards him, Mr Dougherty had a flashback to his mishap in the Albion shirt a few weeks previously. Mr Dougherty is the first person this summer to land a catch in the Tui Brewery-sponsored competition. Mr Dougherty, by comparison, never moved from where he was about to make himself comfortable on the embankment. Apart from shouting a few beers, he had no immediate plans on how to spend his winnings, Mr Dougherty said.
