Trent & Mersey Canal – Derbyshire | 7 Sep 2013 | Division One National Angling Championship
Our first target was to avoid the 10 team relegation from the 56 teams assembled, this may sound a bit negative but is actually a reflection of the quality of teams we were fishing against, many of which were far more local to the venue than us and most of which have the benefit of big sponsorship deals from major tackle companies.
However we fared very much better than our minimum target, doing our sponsors New Hall Fine English Wines and Colchester Bait and Tackle proud by finishing the match with a collective weight of 10 kilo 160 grams which equalled 278 points to finish 30th out of 56 teams..
Star individual performers were Mark Campion finishing third in his section and Graham Garnham finishing 4th in his section Graham also finishing a magnificent 6th place overall in so doing collecting a bronze medal.
Everyone can be proud of what we achieved well done on a great team effort.

Slough House Farm | 6 Dec 2011 | Concessionary Christmas Match | 16 fished
Sixteen concessionary matchmen attended the Christmas Match which was fished at Slough House Farm. The fish must have gone away on their Xmas break as all fishing had blanks, not one fish was caught! Some very nice prizes were supplied bythe Club and some members added to them. Prizes were drawn for and all ended up with a goody. The Concessionary Match Secretary John Woodhams would like to thank all matchmen for their support over the last year and for the additional gifts on Tuesday.
1st= All 16 competitors 0-0-0
As expected on Tuesday’s concessionary match most of the anglers ended the match with dry nets. The match was at Boreham Black Bridge but gin clear water and no flow made the day very slow. Dave Harley was one of the three competitors who did find some hungry Perch, enough to make the 1lbs barrier and take the money on the day. Fourteen matchmen made the effort but eleven of them blanked!

Howells | 24-25 Apr 2010 | Carp Match Final
Report from the Maldon & Burnham Standard:
The 2009 MAS Alan Hare trophy carp match was held on Howells Lake near Heybridge. Ten fished the event with a number of good fish coming from pegs all around the lake. The winner, Robert Smith, pictured, took four fish – all on 18mm Activ-8 boilies . The largest of his fish was a fantastic 27lb mirror closely followed by another mirror of 26 lb 4oz and was joined by another ‘twenty, this time a common of 24lb 12oz. A couple of smaller fish gave Robert a total of 109lb 12oz easily beating runner up Tony Haydon who weighed in with 62lb 9oz. Committee member Pete Newell came third with a total of 44lb 11oz. Robert said ‘I’m absolutely delighted to win, this is my first time out this year so wasn’t expecting much but the fish were in my swim and I was lucky enough to put them on the bank’.

Dave Harley had a pleasant surprise when he was presented with the ‘Ted Cornwalls Cup’ which he won way back in November! The Match Secretary John Woodhams thought he had lost it. Congratulations to Dave on his win and we hope he will enjoy the cup for the short while that he has it (photo to follow).
