The last match of the season and yet again we were not disappointed and yet again the Championship decider came down to the last match. The weather was kind and the fish biting well which meant a half time weigh in was again needed and the juniors were excited to see the match results, which are follows with photos of all those attending with their prizes

Hannah Dakin 74lb 2oz
Riley Joy 70lb 1oz

Back at this lovely venue for the second time this season but on what appeared to be the hottest day so far this year, everyone knew that it was going to be a hard day. A decision was made to fish on the shady side of the Lake to help as much as possible and sadly we had a few last minute cancellations which left us with three juniors attending. The results of the day were as follows
Jasmine Wilkinson 15lb 5oz
Marley Darch 8lb 10oz
Riley Joy 4lb 11oz
The next match for the Juniors took place at this venue, where the catching can be ‘hit & miss’ depending on the weather, time of year or just pure luck. Due to reduced numbers for this Match all fished on the Bottom Lake and sadly for what should have been a wonderful summer’s day, the heavens opened from start to finish with what felt like more water than was already in the lake. The results of the day were as follows
Jasmine Wilkinson 6lb 10oz
Riley Joy 5lb 6oz
Guy Sinclair 3lb 15oz
Marley Darch 2lb 11oz
Our four Juniors arrived ready for a lovely day’s fishing in the bright sunshine of July, but sadly nothing could be farer from the truth. With heavy wind from the start and then the heavy consistent rain from midday, this was not the best weather but our Junior members continued to the whistle. The results of the day were as follows and well done to Riley for winning the Match and fishing after his double leg operations and wearing his ‘unique leg coverings’!
Riley Joy 6lb 10oz
Jasmine Wilkinson 6lb 7oz
Marley Darch 3lb 14oz
Hannah Dakin 2lb 5oz
We have not held a Junior Match at this venue for a number of years so the choice on how to fish this venue varied. Yet another hot weekend and being spread throughout the lake, our Juniors fished to their own skills to work out the best way to add to their catch. The results of the day were as follows
Jasmine Wilkinson 34lb 8oz
Hannah Dakin 14lb 6oz
Riley Joy 6lb 1oz
Marley Darch 3lb 0oz
Fishing on the small lake, this venue is a little unknown as to what is going to be caught and this being the case, all of our Juniors are eager to fish to see what happens. Blistering sunshine was a nice addition in some swims and an hinderance in others, but as usual they all fished through to the end of the Match and the results of the day were as follows
Jasmine Wilkinson 11lb 7oz
Riley Joy 7lb 14oz
Guy Sinclair 7lb 1oz
Hannah Dakin 7lb 0oz
With only a week between Junior Matches, this sadly did mean that not everyone was available to attend this Match, however those who did enjoyed the glorious weather and at this venue with no ‘Carp in this Lake’ it does make our Juniors try all sorts of methods to lure the different species of fish into their nets. The results of the day were as follows
Jasmine Wilkinson 23lb 0oz
Marley Darch 13lb 8oz
Hannah Dakin 12lb 0o
Another season for our Junior members to try waters that have various fish and this venue seems to tick all of the boxes. Sadly we have hit a few clashes with holidays etc which meant that we were down to four juniors attending this match but even so they were all enthusiastic and ready for a day’s fishing. The results of the day were as follows
Jasmine Wilkinson 30lb 11oz
Riley Joy 20lb 3oz
Hannah Dakin 13lb 9oz
Ronnie Darch 5lb 6oz
First match of the 2023 season and everyone was looking forward to start fishing. The weather was ideal and from the whistle the fish started to be caught all around the lake. This was continuous for the first two hours so we had to call half time and weigh in and then we started again for the second two hours. The results of the first match were quite impressive and very close and the results of the day were as follows:
Riley Joy 147lb 7oz
Marley Darch 139lb 12oz
Hannah Dakin 79lb 11oz
Guy Sinclair 67lb 10oz
Jasmine Wilkinson 49lb 14oz
Ronnie Darch 8lb 6oz
