The river is rising and more rain is forecast. The banks are now very dangerous, so our Match Secretary, Will Carr, has switched Sunday's 1st November Winter League match to Melverley Birches Pool. Draw at 0845 Hrs. If any competitors wish to have a breakfast at the Long Lane Cafe, please call Will Carr, our Match Secretary, to book one for you. ‭07903 505123

I have just beeninformed that the Cressage Club has had to shut down because there have been 4 peeople that have tested positive for Covid-19. This will initiate the Track & Trace system, so if you were in the club after last Sunday's match on 25th October, expect to hear from the T&T team. If you did not give your contact details you need to self-isolate for 10 days.

I am informed that as long as social distancing was maintained and that nobody was facing anyone in the club for a continuous period of 15 minutes or more, there is very little chance of the virus being transmitted. But please take heed of the requirement to self-isolate, even if you have no symptoms, to ensure that you don't further spread the thing.

Not sure what effect this will have on the match planned for Sunday 1st November, so watch this website for updates.

The river had been way up during the week prior to this match, but was falling from a level of 1.3m at the start of the match. But this extra water must have included some "Welsh water" from the dams because fish were hard to locate. Eventual winner was league leader Jason Owen from peg 18 with a barbel and a couple of chub for just 12 Lbs 2 Ozs. Second from peg 78 was Graham Jones with 10 Lbs exactly and third was Steve Boyd from peg 114 with 9 Lbs exactly. This means that the winner of the league will come down to the 10th and final match on 25th October, which is also our Pairs match. Jason looks as if he's within touching distance, but either Paul Styche or Paul Harrison could still sneak it. Read the result here! For the current positions, click on the link.

Sunday 27th September dawned bright and sunny. Just a last gasp of summer before the autumn is upon us. This was our second float only match and proved to be an absolute winner for our Match Secretary, Will Carr. Drawing his favorite peg 27 and after losing a "dog" chub at the net, he then proceeded to wipe the floor with the rest of us, putting an all chub catch of 62 Lbs 7 Ozs on the scales; the best match weight so far this year. It just goes to show that the feeder does not always work best. Second was Mike Woolvine from peg 88 with a mixed chub and barbel catch of 28 Lbs and third was Pete Owen from peg 107 with a chub net of 15 Lbs. For the complete result click on the link.
