Walsall Canal, Great Bridge

With the temperature over 25 degrees  it was sun tans all round on the Portacabins and Moors Mill lane sections of the Walsall canal.

Leading on a day where 2/3's of the field weighed in 5lb+ was Tipton drawbag Richard Guest with a catch of lots of small skimmers to 10oz on pinkie and squatt from peg 97 in the bay at Moors Mill Lane.

second from a peg on the cabins was Ben Garbett who added some late roach on hemp to his otherwise skimmer net.

Richard Guest (Fox Match Tipton Van den Eynde) 12-13-4,
Ben Garbett (HanKat AS) 9-2-6;
Darren Massey (Shakespeare) 8-4-6;

Bruce Birch (Wednesfield Wonders) 7-3-7;

Sounds like a good match to end the league lee , how many teams fished this year and how many in a team

Only 6 teams of 5 this year Jeff but it has been competative.

I'd rather fish a 30 match than a 12 peg match which seems to be the case these days.


We paid out very little in overall team money and no team money on the day.


Overall i think most have enjoyed it with a few fish caught, a few beers in the pub after each match, no moaning and ALL the matches have been fished in a good friendly manner........






And i got to meet Joff and took a Mars bar of him!

could be your last i still can't believe i brought one to the match it must of been the tank commander i've always told her to pay her duets she still owes me £200,000

HanKat last..............bloody ell.............i miss one match and thats what you do

yes mate looking though the results it looked a good league shame there arnt more teams but hey i think thats the way its going with this years results you may get more teams next year
