Match Fixtures

We host matches at Sherborne Lake and sometimes Long Load Drain.

The Matches are run by Gary & Geoff and are a very laid back friendly event.

Whether you are an experienced match fisherman or simply looking to start then these matches are for you.

As the Lake is a 50 Acre natural water it is constantly changing and no two matches are the same.

One day you could win the match on Whip and maggot, another could be Waggler and Sweet corn.

The Matches are held every two weeks and you need to contact Gary to get yourself booked on.

Numbers are normally limited to 20-25.

YSAA Matches are competitive but Friendly, open for both Experienced Match Anglers and new Anglers alike. We are proud of our Attendance and would like it to stay that way.
