Sunday 18the November 2012 was a very cold day, with a sharp overnight frost and bright sunlight. The river had a couple of feet on, but with a good colour. We fished the Buildwas stretch on pegs A to N. All 17 anglers in this year's Winter League turned out, but only 10 of them caught. Winner was Wirral angler Eric Rimmer with a 2 barbel catch for 12 Lbs 4 Ozs taken from peg E (see photo below), second was Craig Cope with 11 Lbs 8 Ozs from peg J and third was Nick Bastock with 7 Lbs 9 Ozs of mainly a pike from peg M. It was a tough day for the 7 of us that never had a bite and this has certainly made the league table interesting. Gary Stinton now leads with 8 penalty points, just one ahead of second placed man and travelling companion Eric Rimmer on 9 and third is now Nick Bastock just one point back on 10. But with only 4 match results from the 6 match series to count, it's still wide open. For the full result, click on the link.

Next match will be on Tong Mere on 2 December. Read about it here!
