With 8 matches in the season, these matches are held at good venue’s and are very enjoyable. Sadly in recent times the number of members attending these matches has dwindled and the Committee would like to advertise these events to all Female members to attend either at the Ladies Matches or with your Partner at the Mixed Pairs Matches.
To book a place at these Matches, details of which are all shown on the fixture list in your handbook, or for any queries please call Nick Mitchell on 07970 606558
Attendance to these matches would be greatly appreciated and would help save the events from cancellation.
Low level water at the venue did make things a little harder and sadly this meant that the catches were not to the same level as previous matches. The results of the day were
Kathy & Nick 11lb 5oz
Wendy & Alan 10lb 4oz
Alison & Martin 5lb 3oz
You never know what is going to be caught on the small lake at this venue which can make a difference in the totals at the end of the match, as shown
Alison 21lb 1oz
Wendy 5lb 3oz
Kathy 2lb 8oz
The blistering heat can sometimes be the difference between the weights caught, and this was the case in this Match. First lake, no shade, more fish, second lake, more shade, less fish.
Decisions, decisions. At the end of the day the results were
Alison & Martin 37lb 1oz
Wendy & Alan 29lb 5oz
Kathy & Nick 26lb 4oz
Hot weather aside, the Carp showed that they were feeding as well as the silverfish. The finishing weights of the match were as follows
Kathy 24lb 0oz
Alison 22lb 11oz
The strong heat kept this match interesting, not knowing if the Carp would show or feed, although they did show themselves basking in the sun, which was nice to see.
The results of the day were
Kathy 8lb 8oz
Wendy 2lb 2oz
Alison 1lb 1oz
Right from the start we can confirm that fish are not the only thing caught at this venue. Before even fully set up, Poor Alan ‘caught’ his finger in the bracket of his chair with Alan and Wendy spending the rest of the Match at A & E. He is thankfully on the road to recovery now and we all wish him well. That aside and with the British weather trying it’s hardest to blow everyone away, the results of the day were
Alison & Martin 10lb 9oz
Kathy & Nick 9lb 1oz
Wendy & Alan Sadly 0lb 0oz
First match of the season and sadly due to a couple is issues we only had three Pairs attending nd the finishing weights were as follows
Alison and Martin 39lb 15oz
Wendy and Alan 27lb 13oz
Kathy and Nick 17lb 9oz
