Barford Willow lake. Aka Goblers Gulch
It was Edward Bewer-Lytton who said “the pen is mightier than the sword” and it appears he was right, our Team leader Birthday boy Wall drew Nigel (100/1 if I had taken the bet) and Kieran for his team of 3. To try and remove the accusations of “draw fixing” the new golden boy Chillo was drawn with Roy (lightning) Moyse and the club sleeper Shane Bultitude. This proved to be the winning trio with Shane staying awake all match and finished with top bag overall, helped by the fact that every time he looked like he was going to sleep someone catapulted boillies at him.
Wayne Moore has slipped so far down the Walls favor list as to not be on it (it was only one marble fire place and we are sure you wont notice the join), Wayne not only drew the corner peg (no surprise there then) but was given an angling lesson buy the clubs one and only ex processional fisherman Nigel (got to go Brenda’s got the dinner on) Blowers, who produced fish when Wayne kept his net dry again.
Several members have peculiar rituals and superstitions they follow before a match but Paul Chilvers standing in urine in the morning prior to the match is the strangest I have heard for a long time, but as he and his fellow trio members Bruce and Trevor where 2nd it might be something other members wish to take up !!. Mind you as a red golf with rickety old trailer reversed out of a slip road and back onto the roundabout for the A47 after the match with traffic swerving to avoid the vehicle and trailer he may not make it to many more matches unless he changes his chauffer.
Bob Morris completed his 3rd 5 hour session on Willow and managed to keep his unbroken record, its now 15 hours of intense concentration with several hours preparation without a single fish, he thinks he had a bite the time before last but cannot quite remember. But Bob Morris was helped into third position in the results by his two team members Boycee and Steve Moyse who caught two fish the first one landed in just over half and hour (that’s fast for Steve) the second one was a good 45 – 50 minute epic battle until the poor fish was so knackered it just gave up, Wally worked out if Steve was to beat the lake record he would need to be fishing for 3 days 7 hours and 10 minutes without a break to allow enough time to play all the fish.
Next match is the other side of the causeway you are not supposed to drive along, you know the one Wally had his car parked on for the entire match Barford Railway Lake, it is supposed to be 10 -3 but remember that old advert watch out watch out Wally’s about, things may change.

A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW
Match two Windyclay lakes
Doubles (or another way for Wally to confuse us all).
Wayne Moore is now undergoing a comprehensive training regime to improve his catch rate as reality hit home when he was no longer drawn with Wally in the pairs, (our erstwhile leader and draw master plucked the new leader and Diawa international Chillo as his partner ( you could not write it in a book). Wayne then went on to confirm Wallys thoughts and failed to way in. So it looks like it will be Wally and Chillo in all future pairs draws, in the triples its even money on Wally / Wayne / Chillo or Dingit may substitute Wayne if Wally feels he is still not producing, Nigel is 100/1 outsider for Wallys triples team with the rest of us 20/1. Although after reading this we may be thrown a decoy early on and Wally will put himself with Nigel and one of the youngsters if he feels we may be scrutinizing the draw to much.
The draw for pegs was another Pot Black classic with Wally on the much favored peg 2 and his new partner and best buddy Chillo on the hot peg on New lake Nigel and his partner both on Spring lake, and Bob Morris celebrating a peg “out of the wind” never mind if it will fish.
Four hours into the match and Chillo’s / Wallys catch rate was improving but with the talk on the bank of several big fish, they thought they would need another hour to clench the title. So an executive decision was taken by our leader to extend the match by another hour, thus ensuring victory was in the net.
Brenda Blowers (Mrs Nigee) has been asked if dinner can be half an hour later as young Ryan would like to see a way in, but this idea failed due to the match extension and the poor lad was subjected to another 100 mph dash home so as Nigels yorki puds did not burn in the oven !!.
The Bulti,s put the catering to the test and Stuart was heard to mutter the words “we are going to need a bigger pan”, Mark Colman brought along his son to help carry his “big feeders” and the ground bait, and to show the lad how to “match fish”, after 5 hours and no fish the poor lad is still waiting !!.
Next match will be on Willow at Barford “Teams of Three” or another way to confuse us all. Also the questions will be answered Wallys team ?, will Ryan get to see a way in ?, Will the Bultis get lost ?, will Bob Morris get a peg facing the wind ?, will Wayne Moore pull out all the stops to win back Wallys favor, will more than 5 people way in ? till then.
Tight lines, the other bank.

HINDERCLAY 3RD. MAY
Hell, are we unlucky or not! After a week of sunshine and warm temperatures, Sunday come and that FREEZING cold northerly wind came it!! It could be the POT BLACK CURSE because if you remember last season, how many Sundays were crap also!
Anyway it was SCRATCH-about time again and the prospect of a lot of people Blanking as well! As we were split on two lakes most people didn't know how there partners were doing till the weigh in. On New Lake it became obvious the carp were only in certain pegs but it was also obvious the fish were bigger this year as the talk was HOW MANY was lost! Chillo got two fish for 22 lb 4 oz and was smashed about ten times( .12 line ain't quite heavy enough, eh!) Boycie back from his fishing tuition holiday with Bob Nudd came second with 10lb 9 oz pipping Dingit who...... wait for it..... missed his keep net with a fish estimated at least 60 lb, and bulti was committing suicide after having six hours of listening to hundreds of fish spawning under the trees in touching distance!

On Spring Lake Wally's N2 peg was a gift from heaven, fish everywhere, even bare hooks were getting bites, I mean how did he only land 15 lb! Good job he's a crap fisherman! Mad Bruce got the biggest fish of the season so far a 13 lb 4oz slink and that shy Yarco Millionare Bob Morris weighed in 7lb without a hole in his net! All the youngsters blanked including the skipper and Shane said that's the best sleep he's had for weeks! The reigning champion Wayne Moore chucked his imaginary fish back before the weigh in and got only 1 point (plenty good enough) and I thought someone Had left a generator running in the corner but it was only Nigel puttering away!
As it was the doubles points went to chillo and rip van winkle 5pts, best peg on the lake wally/ stevie moyse 4 pts and in 3rd place by just, I say just one once, Boycie /bob morris 3pts.
Next match is at Willow Lake Barford on the 17th May and is a 5 hour match.(Barford won't allow 6 hours) but where we can have 6 hours we will!!!!
