Junior League - Brownlee's Pool - 13/09/14
 

Hastily changed venue from the original of our Whitegate Pool due to water levels, Our final Junior match of the year took place today and we had some new members "dipping their toe" in the water, great to see them here. So eleven Junior members fishing today on what was a pleasant late Summer day, the sun eventually breaking through and an air temperature heading toward twenty degrees with little or no wind, a nice day indeed!
Senior members organised the pegging and did the draw by 9.15am, whilst others set up the BBQ. Match was being fished from 10.00 - 1.00.
Frank and myself darted off to Asda to get food and drink for BBQ, and upon return I cracked on with cooking the 'first course' which was bacon, followed by hot dogs then followed by Burgers (Ken the chef did the Burgers), or at least, did the ones that Frank didn't throw on the floor!
Anyway, back to the fishing. Bait today varied between Pellet. Maggot and Sweetcorn, majority fishing on the pole although a few dabbled with the rod.
Seems to happen every year but it was a close match, only two points between Ethan and Alex, and only one ounce separated them on overall weight up to this match, so the atmosphere was tense. Both Ethan and Alex caught as the majority did, but who caught the most?
The time ticked by until 1.00pm and the all-out arrived.
Alan and Roly conducted the weigh-in helped by John and James who did the nets.
The results in, Alex won the match followed by Ethan and Kieran. So we had a tie for first place in the Junior League
with both Ethan and Alex on ninety two points, so the winner was judged on total weigh caught across all the matches. Alex came out on top with a total weight of 41lb 13oz 8drm, followed by Ethan with 37lb 0oz 0drm.
Alex doesn't quite have the pool record for a Junior match, back on 8th July 2006 Dan Gore had a winning weight of 11lb 12oz, but it certainly is the highest weight on this pool since that time so a great effort Alex!
Well done everyone, another great year, hope to see you all with Mums and Dads, Nans and Grandads on Prize Night at Roosters Club on Friday 3rd October, where we hand out our trophies and prizes.
Finally thanks to all of our members and parents, without whom none of these matches would take place. Look forward to seeing you at Prize Night.
