Over 60's match 11th October 2017
The penultimate Over 60s match of this year was held at Avington on Wed 11 Oct. A warm windy day on E section of the Canal, but the fish were biting and the usual skimmers, roach and perch all played their part. With the leaders now dropping points from previous results, Brian Cripps can only score 4 more points, and Steve Thame can score 8 and either could win the series. With 6 points available Dave Smith could finish equal first but that must be an outside bet. The match result was:
Henry Sadler 4-8-0
Brian Pallett 4-6-0
Les Durnford 4-3-8
Steve Thame 3-8-8
Richard Wiggins 3-0-8
Merv Burrows 2-13-0
Steve Myers 2-6-0
Keith Payne 2-5-0
Dave Smith 1-14-0
Alf McGarry 1-2-0.
