THIRD ROUND RESULTS
over night rain put pay to any chance of this match being on the river at this point can i thank all the lads that had been out on the banks pegging out and those who had done a lot of bank side work as well
the rain did'nt start until 5.30 pm and never stopped as i walked back from the pub one of the roads had already flooded [i nearly turned arund and spend the night in the pub trouble is the tank commander would'nt stand for that as its only 300yards a way from our house
]so i when home and started work on the pegs we could use on the canal [its a good job earlier in the year i walked the whole length with pen and paper so i know all the pegs and where bridges and wires went across the canal
on the morning i phoned all the team up at 5.30am to tell them to put some canal gear in as until i had seen the river it could of gone one way or the other :o :oas i crossed the river at 7.30am i new the only venue on the cards was the canal
on arrivel at the draw no one moaned
when i said it was on the canal
i had john clarke in the team who hates canals at the best of times and yanny who has not fished a canal for five years both telling me we should change the team
a few more phone calls and the team was to stay the same :-/
as i was doing the draw for the hole winter league i left it to roger to do our team draw and on paper it did'nt look that good :( :(and i had seen other teams draw better
half the canal was coloured and the other half not
on the whole the canal fished well
