Match Report

We had 11 anglers turn out for the first match of the new season. The temperatures had risen of late and hopes were high on a warm dry evening. This did not prove to be the case with 5 anglers not weighing in and only 11 carp, 2 bream, I tench and odd small silver fish being weighed in.
