In concert with this it has been decided to impose a publicity ban on RDAS waters.

Any member not adhering to the above will face a period of suspension from the venue, this to be decided by the Committee.
What is put on the Members Only Group Page will be Club business and must not be shared by members with non members.

Mick Edmunds Memorial.6/9/26 R.Severn Coalport.36 Fished

The last blockbuster match was the Dave Bedford Memorial back in July,24 double figure weights were recorded that day total weight 722lbs.
Today’s match was a close second 674 lbs weighed in and 23 double figure weights with eight lads individually putting over 30lbs on the scales.

Match Report
Species Caught On Today’s Match
58. Barbel. 127. Chub 19. Bream. 26. Roach. 8.Perch. 457. Dace.
170. Bleak.
1.Steve Jackson. 55-13-0.Steve was 22nd to pick his peg on the numerical draw and gambled on a peg in the bottom meadow and didn’t he do well off a peg no one fancied.Steve was completely knackered when he handed in the weigh in board to the match stewards and no wonder he had netted 8 bream and 4 barbel to just sn**ch top spot.
2.Simon Marvin.50-7-0.Simon was just a few places in front of the winner on the numerical draw and one of his favourite pegs was still on the peg board and say no more Simon was heading to the Big Bay and a bream catch if his luck was in.After the match Simon counted the weigh in boards back and with one arriving late a match win plus a Golden Peg was in the palm of his
hand but his 8 bream,2 barbel,3 chub were just pipped at the post
3.Trevor Newey. 44-1-0 Trevor dipped his bread on the numerical draw and he was on his way to a top peg in Barbel Alley to defend
his one point lead 253 over Keith Jones.Trevor knows his chosen peg inside out but those sunken trees on the far bank are a hook and hold job and when you hook those Big Boy’s Trevor knows the crack but next time around he will beef up his gear he lost 2, but never the less he had a cracking catch 6 barbel and 2 chub to defend his aggregate lead.
4.Garry Mason. 41-10-0 Garry is pretty consistent on matches invariably he also as a story to tell after the match.Previously he had barbel on the inside line chomping dropped bits and pieces off the grass and today a barbel fancied his feeder that was skating the surface whereby he managed to foul hook it but l believe he lost it.Anyway Garry fished the inform peg in the Donkey Field and ended up with 11 chub and 3 barbel.

with 6 chub and 2 premium barbel casting his feeder over to the snags.
3.Neil Smith.30-2-0.Neil follows in his dads foot steps and he didn’t do much wrong today on a peg his dad suggested might be worth a punt.Neil loves the float and that’s how he cracked it inching corn and meat to the lip of the runoff to temp 10 chub and a single barbel.
4.Lindon Asbury.25-12-0. Azza attacked the far bank tree line with the meat and feeder and had a flying start with 3 barbel in the net before the first hour was up best weighed at 8-8-0.
Azza lost out to a number of barbel on hook and hold when bolting under that tree line but he did salvage three additional chub.
