Eleven anglers turned out so space was going to be a little tight if we were just to use Kingfihser and try to peg the islands that last year fished so well. Rick decided there was one open water peg, 11, and it would be fine as Keith would probably have it given he can't fish 16m anyway.....at least that was the story prior to the draw.
Well Keith then tells Rick to 'go forth and muliply' so to speak, not wanting to be in open water, and says he'll take his chances.....so the draw proceeds and the flyers quickley disappear leaving two flyers and 11 in the bag. With those three left in the bag I decided to break with tradition and insisted I had the last peg rather than Rick who usually has it so we made Rick draw next.....well he had a moan saying "I always go last" and moaned "why are you changing things, you pair must be upta something".......anyway moaning subsides in went his grubby mitt and out came 11.....yeeeeehaaaa me and Ste Brew cried "thats the crap outta the way" and proceeded to draw the last two flyers. Rick proceeded to throw his toys around (quietly mind) as he couldn't say much as he pegged it!!!!
Needless to say Rick had the last laugh and fished a blinder finishing with 33lb of mainly silvers for a hard earned 3rd overall and a section win. Top on the day was Jason Connah drawn at the top right with the end of an island and open water to target he had a slow start on bread but found them later to record 46lb of carp on pellet. He was followed by Ste Brew with 42lb of carp on pellet or corn fished tight to the island in front of the house. Some good backing weights with two other 30's meant a decent day but not quite the heights of last year....yet.
Just a note to say for future winter league matches make sure you book on with Rick by Thursday night, don't just turn up as Rick is agreeing which lakes we have in on the Friday to try to make sure we have adequate room for those booked on to fish.
Result
1st - Jason Connah - 46lb
2nd - Steve Brew - 42lb
3rd - Rick Keeley 33lb

10th November 2013 - TriClub Challenge - Lingmere
Well twenty nine anglers turned up at Lingmere in aid of Claire House Childrens Hospice and talk was actually as much about record breaking sponsorship that the members had been involved in as it was about the fishing for the day ahead.
With breakfasts under way via Jan and her helpers the banter was flying, prizes and booze for later were unloaded and Colin Cook even turned up with 4 gallons of maggs in pint bags kindly donated for use on the day by a local tackle shop. Well done to Colin and the local tackle shops we had c20 prizes to draw for later.
Rick, being Rick, took the lead and despite a few late arrivals and subsequent tweaking of the teams and pegs for the draw Rick and Keith collected the £17 which was split £2 prize draw, £3 Lingmere £4 Claire House off Lingmere and £8 pools. With three teams there would be sections of three with points for club pride and a trophy at stake with Eggy Ferry, Wirral Borough and Rivacre all having a team.
Draw done it was off for 5 hours fishing with all knowing the Top Lake was going to be harder than the Bottom but with sections to go for it was still going to be a fair match. At the all out it was a close call on both lakes with 'pellethead' Kenny Stuart winning the Bottom lake with 57.7lb from 'fuzzyhead' Jason Davies with 50.0lb and Dougie 'hills have eyes' Walsh third with 46.8lb. On the Top lake it was much harder but Billy Gore (sponsored by Araldite) ran out the winner with 27.0lb from Lee 'do I have to fish the pole' Pickup with 25.8lb and Paul Robb 'I'll sit in the corner and say I've caught nowt' with 25.4lb.
After the individuals were confirmed it was down to section prizes and a number of anglers chose to forego their winnings putting it back in the charity pot....you know who you are and stars you are!
Anyway over to the main event the team result. Rick stood up in his usual 'unaccustomed as I am' manner to announce we had joint second with 19pts were Rivacre and Wirral meaning Eggy Ferry had run out champions with a 16pt total and are TriClub Champions for 2013 so well done to all in 'my' club (it helps when you're in all three!)
Results that matter:
- Prize draw - £58
- Lingmere donation - £116
- On-Line via Just Giving (inc Gift Aid) - £469
- Section prizes put back in by winners on the day - £116
- and the best till last sponsorship pledged off line (due in 30/11) - £2871
Totalling a massive £3,630 (inc online Gift Aid) a massive new record total for us!!!!
Thanks should go to Colin Cook and the local tackle dealers for organising all the tackle prizes. Steve and Jan at Lingmere for their hospitality including donation and free food afterwards. Rick, Keith, Ian Lloyd and Jamie Pickup for sorting the clubs attendees and finally every member who fished and everyone who donated to such a worth cause....a fabulous days fishing and fundraising!

12th October 2013 - Weston - Canal
A good turnout of 19 found the colour starting to drop out of Weston Pools Canal and reports of hard fishing in the week as temperatures droppedfor the first time saw many anglers struggling.
Colin Cook ran out the winner eventually finding some fish in deeper water late on having resorted to micros on a size 22 hook, which only resulted in gudgeon. Barry Davis managed 31.9lb for second holding off a fast fishing Jeff Granthan who also found some late fish in deep water.
With weights well down on Weston's normal high points it may be Sept should be our last trip if we are to return in future years.
Result
1st - Colin Cook - 32.6lb
2nd - Barry Davis - 31.9lb
3rd - Jeff Grantham - 27.8lb
4th - Jason Davies - 23.06lb
5th - Ian Simpson - 15.8lb
