2024 end of season results

Following a busy season and the ‘to and fro’ between the Juniors, meant it went down to the last match of the season and the final result was too close to count.  With matches at various venues throughout the season, the end of year catch results actually needed to be counted twice and ended with the closest results so far.  This just confirms with every match our juniors are encouraged to fish the whole match ‘whistle to whistle’ to make sure everything counts.  Once the results were agreed and adjudicated, there were announced to our juniors. Once it was shown how close the finish weights were, our 2024 Jasmine Wilkinson, wanted to share the Championship, but we had only ordered ‘1 winners cap.  Instead Jasmine insisted 1^st and 2^nd place share the final photo of the Season. 

Jasmine Wilkinson                       176lb 11oz

Hannah Dakin                              175lb 15oz

 As with prizes throughout the year, the end of Season prizes for all of our Juniors as well as the 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place prizes were all kindly donated to the Juniors, by the Club and various members. You all know who you are, THANK YOU.

Hicks Farm 5th October

Last match of the season and all the juniors arrived up and ready for a match at this venue, which usually delivers good weights.  The running total before the last match of the year meant yet again there were several juniors who could take the Championship and every fish counted in the final count and this year is was down to the results of the last match to get a decision.  The results of this last match were as follows 

Maddison Lyons                            40lb 15oz

Hannah Dakin                                37lb 12oz

CONGRATULATIONS MADDISON YOU HER MAIDEN WIN

Dodds Farm 21st September

This venue, although a good carp water can be a little bit ‘hit and miss’ if the carp are not caught. Our junior members at this match therefore had various catches, some did and some didn’t.  being the last but one match before the end of the Junior match season the results were important for the ‘End of Season total’s’ and the results of the match were as follows

 Hannah Dakin                                  33lb 11oz

Jasmine Wilkinson                            29lb 9oz

Riley Joy                                            8lb 8oz

Parsonage Farm 9th July

Yet again this venue did not disappoint although the weather could not make up it’s mind. Bright sunshine to start but with cloud on and off all day. We again had five Junior members attending this match with Bream caught throughout the lake with a good selection of fish also netted.  The results of the day were as follows

 Hannah Dakin                                23lb 6oz

Bicknacre 3rd August

Good weather when we arrived at this venue but the conditions were mixed throughout the day. Good showing by Bream in certain areas of the Lake. Our junior members persevered for the entire match and a good day was had by all. We welcomed a new Junior Member – Maddison Lyons.  The results of the day were as follows

 Jasmine Wilkinson                                    35lb 15oz

Windmill - Swan Lake 20th July

It is a change of Lake at this venue for the Junior Match, so not a lot of information about the fishing.  On arrival to the Lake nice Carp could be seen in the middle of the lake, which brought smiles to the faces of the Juniors but ‘seeing is one thing, landing is another’.  The rain still came, even with the sun all week so must be a cloud following our matches as we don’t seem to be able to get away from the rain.  Sadly no Carp were caught so the results of the day were as follows

 Riley Joy                                               5lb 9oz

Jasmine Wilkinson                                2lb 2oz

Marley Darch                                        1lb 14oz

Southminster Pit 1 6th July

Whilst getting prepared for the start of this Match, it was clear that we would not be having a lovely July summer’s day, what was not expected was the heavy rain and wind, which made conditions feel more like December.  The heavy downfall of rain made fishing difficult at times for our Juniors but they pushed through and the weights for the match were as follows

Jasmine Wilkinson                          32lb 11oz

Hannah Dakin                                 26lb 7oz

Riley Joy                                           6lb 4oz

Straits Mill 22nd June

Looking forward to see how this venue would fish with the long spells of bright sunshine that the UK has been having, instead we had heavy outbursts of rain and wind. With so many different species of fish in this venue it was hard for the Juniors to work their way through the many smaller fish to find the larger ones. Some succeeded and some didn’t but all in all a good day was had by all those attending.  The match results were as follows

Marley Darch                    9lb 2oz

Jasmine Wilkinson           7lb 1oz

Riley Joy                           5lb 5oz

Hannah Dakin                   2lb 9oz

Parsonage Farm – 8.6.2024

As ever this venue is a lovely place to hold a Match at but like with most venue’s you never know what is going to be produced.  There were some lovely specimens caught and although a strong wind lasted for all of the Match, there were various types of fish caught from Silvers and Perch to Bream and Tench

 The results of the day were

 Hannah Dakin                                    16lb 4oz

Jasmine Wilkinson                           10lb 3oz

Marley Darch                                     6lb 11oz

Riley Joy                                             3lb 12oz

Windmill Lakes – Long Lake – 25.5.2024

This is the first time we have held a match at this lovely venue and the weather was certainly smiling on us all.  Although there was plenty of evidence of large carp in this lake they clearly made a joint decision to not take many of our baits.  This match therefore turned out to be a ‘Gudgeon feast’, but what a wonderful selection of Gudgeon were caught.

 The results of the match were are follows

 Hannah Dakin                                    3lb 6oz

Marley Darch                                     3lb 3oz

Jasmine Wilkinson                             1lb 13oz

Hicks Farm 14 May

First match of the new season and with the sun shining brightly what more could you ask for. Some large catch weights would be nice and although this venue in the past has produced some extraordinary weights, sadly today was not the day that this was going to happen.  All of our Juniors who attended caught but some more than others but then that’s how it goes sometimes, but everyone had a good day. Still smiles all round at the end of the Match, with a joint 2^nd place which shows how you always fish to the final whistle and the finishing weights were as follows

Marley Darch                                     44lb 11oz

Hannah Dakin                                    11lb 1oz

Jasmine Wilkinson                             11lb 1oz

Riley Joy                                              6lb 7oz
