PIKE MATCH
Sunday 14th January saw our first pike match for many years and 7 of the 10 places were taken, the match started with much anticipation but as the match went on it was becoming more apparent that no one was going to catch and unfortunately that was the case, so very disappointing, the weather was probably to blame as the water was freezing, we all agreed that we should hold another match in October so keep an eye on the website for details.
