The club had waited over 30 years to fish this stretch of the Yeo and was it worth it, you bet it was we had a brilliant day with lots of big chub, bream, perch and trout and some carp lost. Winner on the day was John with over 30lb of chub, 2nd Richard with 16.12 of chub, 3rd was Steve with 12.02 of chub and 4th was Dave with 9.01 of bream.

Sunday 2nd March 2nd Non Points Newton Park
Every one was looking forward to the match especially after the last one, but it didn’t live up to expectations and weights were poor, we can only put it down to the conditions as a few days ago the river was in flood and we have had hard frosts since or was it bad angling 
the winner on the day was Kev with 3.14. 2nd was Dean with 3.08. 3rd was Paul with 2.09 and 4th was Nigel with 2.00.

4TH POINTS MATCH SUNDAY 27TH APRIL SHERBORNE LAKE
The lake has been producing some big fish and if by magic come match day they all disappear, the lake was very clear and like an aquarium in places so we knew it would be hard. Winner on the day was Steve with one tench for 3.08. And 2nd was Gary with 3.03 of Rudd, 24 anglers fished and unfortunately 22 blanked so we had to draw lots for section places. I have been running the matches for many years and for this time of year it has to be the worst’s, but that is fishing and tomorrow is another day
