Derek Kirby popped into the the Club with his new catch and asked how you reprobates were getting on and said he would follow all the news on the Blog from his new home down South! He also hinted that your all crap fisherman, but you couldn't find a better bunch of lads.!!!Good on yer son !!It's been several weeks since I've written anything, but it's all been progressing quite nicely. The first match I've missed was Railway, Barford. It was cold especially if you were one of the unlucky ones facing the stiff northerly breeze(won't it Bob!!!). Anyway, big boy Shane (we're not talking trouser bulges now!) wiped everyone out with 25 lb on the feeder earning his partner Bob Morris another 5 points (nice to see if he can do it in the singles, freeloader). 4 points went to Aaron and Whispering Bob Harrod and 3rd. was Wayne the spawn Moore and look-good Keith Knights. The person voted the crappiest caster was ace photographer & scrounger Max Wall who lost all his feeders in the trees but Mark Coleman beat that easy by just about clearing the whole island and poaching the geezer opposite swim, who's fishing for another club!!!
The Thursday match at Berghampton lived up to expectation and was nearly a good day for everybody! Fish were plentiful, especially if you feeder fished the island! The ironic thing was on one side the lads sunbathed and the other they froze!!! We had great pleasure rubbing it in to the skipper (who looked like an Eskimo with the amount of gear he had on) and Ardo (who don't take much to have a whinge!) but they still weighed in 25 & 41lb respectively. The winner was Arron with 73 lb, second was me with 61 lb and third was dingit with 57 lb. Bob Morris, although poaching my swim all day and catching 2 fish to everyone of mine came 4th. with 54lb..(Incredible when he had his second net in the water by 1PM!!!!!!!) Condolences to Steve Moyse who did get the shit-swim...

The last match was Spring Lake Tasburgh. There was a weather warning and boy did they get it right! This was the coldest and wettest I've felt since Dover breakwater but it did cheer everybody else up! Dingit won with 31 lb( off a pucker swim on the lawn) second was Boycie(who had the Golden peg) with 23 lb & third was the spawny git (WAYNE) with 19 lb. For all those lightweights who packed up and went home early I'M glad their not fighting for us in Afghanistan!
Those who are through to the last eight of the knockout are Butch, Mark Coleman,Paul Chilvers,Dingit,Wayne,Shane,Max & Steve Moyse. Well Done Lads!!!
Next Match this Sunday, Railway Lake Barford fishing 10-3pm pegs 41 to 62.....
Tight Lines!!!!
