NEXT MATCH

SUN 7th Dec

WINTER LEAGUE

SPRINGVALE "NEWCASTLE"

Draw 8am approx

A lovely Winters day on the Duchess today and we had a decent match as well? Leading the way from fancied peg 8 was Paul Bell who gave us all a method masterclass with dead reds on the hook and a fine 129lb in Winter. Another 100lb plus weight came from opposite him on peg 22 where Winter League Leader Stephen Kirk produced a fine run of fish on bomb and pellet. Some late margin fish catapulted Summer League Champion Alex Dalton to 70lb 8oz just pipping David Lythall next door who also plundered the edges for a fine 70lb 2oz weight. A few more decent 60lb plus winter weights also recorded from Paul Beck and Simon Dunn, looking forward to another match on here sometime in the future...

Winter began today on a windswept First Spring pond, im sure this factor led to the drop in weights? Leading the way was Chris Bell on peg 5, he had a few very large fish on method feeder about 20m out with wafter. The last hour arrival came on a top kit plus 1 line feeding maggots & groudbait with maggots also on the hook. Opposite side and Stephen Kirk made the most of fancied peg 22 catching mainly on a top kit plus 2 line and expander on the hook. 3rd place dropped somewhat to Matt Dalton on peg 7 who did attract a few decent skimmers in between the gusts plus carp of course...
