NEWBURY ANGLING ASSOCIATION The best fishing in West Berkshire since 1878

Over 70's rover 17th October 2012

This event was held on Warwicks on a day when the fish were hard to come by. Eric Goswell ran away with the win with both M Shore and Ken Hunt putting up a good challenge. Mssrs Knot and Pearce brought up the rear with a half pound each. Ken Did enough to keep himself in the lead. With one match remaining there are 4 mathematical contenders, but with a 5 point advantage Ken probably can feel one hand on the trophy already. The result:

E Goswell 5lb 4oz

M Shore 3lb 9oz

K Hunt 2lb 15oz

J Knott 8oz

A Pearce 8oz

Club Championship 14th October 2012

The club championship moved to Avington D and E for a bit of canal action for the first of two October contests. The first frost of the winter made the fishing difficult and seemed to put the fish down somewhat. In a patchy result and with a small field weights were low. There were two new faces to the series with Tony Franklin making second place, and Nigel Beazman with the only dry net. Adrian Ager missed the second match in a row, selflessly working on the Willows lake algae problem, allowing Dave Smith to build a good lead in the series. The full results were: 

Roger Durnford 3-9-0

Tony Franklin 1-15-0

Brian Cripps 1-9-0
