Club Championship 17th February 2013

The penutlimate club championship match was the delayed event, held at Step-up Cottage on the Enborne Canal. With the big prizes now looking almost decided the pressure is on the leading lights to hold thier places in the table. The winner was Steve Myers which more than doubled his point score and lifted him to mid-table. A good day in the office for Martin Pallett (2nd) and Dave Smith (3rd) to push them to the top 3 places. The only other people with a chance of being in the money are Ade Ager and Vince Bonnick, both scoring in this event to keep their hopes alive.

The full result:

Steve Myers 4lb 7oz

Martin Pallett 3lb 3oz

Dave Smith 1lb 13oz

Rover Match 25th November 2012

The rover trophy entertained just a small field of anglers at Avington. After so much rain the canal was flowing like a river and well coloured, but it seemed to bring out the fish for some people. The weights were patchy, the unusual conditions possibly catching some out. The weights were:

Wilf Squires 11-15-0

Vinny Bonnick 9-14-0

Martin Pallett 6-9-0

Rover Match 16th December 2012

The canal at Step Up Cottage was the venue for the penultimate rover trophy match. This brought a larger field out in icy conditions, which made the fish hard to tempt. Weights were smal and apart from three runaway leaders the rest were looking for scraps, and several blanks. The end result in the table leaves a four horse race for the title in the final match on 1st January. The result was:

Les Durnford 3-7-0

Brian Cripps 2-9-0

Henry Sadler 1-11-0

Club Championship 18th November 2012

The club championship moved on the the canal at Step Up Cottage for the November round. With a smaller than usual field, not all the points could be awarded. However almost everybody caught fish, but outside the top three the weights were very small. In a reversal of form Dave Chandler and Henry Sadler took first and third place, with regular high scorer Vinny Bonnick in second. Current series leader Dave Smith only took 3 points and surrendered his lead.

Note: the 2nd December match has been moved to 17th February because of fencing work on the estate.

The full run down:

Dave Chandler 6lb exactly

Vinny Bonnick 4lb 7oz

Henry Sadler 3lb 4oz
