Cei Connah 29/01/23
Our Clubman League continued at Connahs Quay where for the first hour no fish appeared - perhaps an omen of what was to unfold. However, as the water hit the grass bank, fish did begin to show albeit on an infrequent basis.
This situation continued throughout with several pegs failing to produce at all and others yielding one or two fish. As always, there is a result to be determined and top angler on the day was Lewis Taylor finishing with eight fish for 252cm giving him a comfortable lead over the rest of the field.
Steve Bonner took second place with 124cm with Dave Campbell third having 82cm. There were cash prizes for the top 5 and Clubman Points awarded to the top 10.

Guinea Gap 20/01/23
Each angler’s longest two fish combined was the format for our opening Clubman Points match of the year.
All pegs produced fish and there were plenty landed, albeit many small in size. Once more, it was the ever faithful whiting and dab that kept the rods active.
The in-demand cod never appeared and therefore aforementioned were only two species recorded between all competitors. As the match concluded and cards were checked it was Roy Watterson who came out on top with his two whiting accruing 68cm. Lewis Taylor was 2nd with Mike Flanagan 3rd. There was cash prizes to 5th place and Clubman Points awarded accordingly
Thank you to all who took part.
Vale Park 06/01/23
Our first match of 2023 was the club Memorial Match which this year found us at Vale Park over high water. In a pioneering move for this year, it took the form of a pairs match with the format set at single longest fish. Plus, there was "pools money" for the longest flat and round.
With the entire match length yielding fish made up mainly of the usual winter Mersey stalwarts of whiting and dabs, it looked to be a close run competition with the lead changing throughout. However, with little time remaining, Andy Sothern landed a cod of 47cm to open up a lead.
At the final whistle and with cards checked it was this fish added to partner John Wood's whiting of 29cm which gave them top place having accumulated a total of 76cm. Duos Bill Lindfield and Lewis Taylor, plus Steve's Crowder and Moffat caught some quality whiting giving both pairs totals of 66cm. With count back applied it was Bill and Lewis who took second place.
The best round fish was Andy's cod with Roy Watterson's flounder of 31cm the best flat, rewarding both with first pools prize.
Thank you to all who took part.
Kingslake 11/12/22
Kingslake was the venue for our Christmas and concluding match of 2022. As tradition dictates, format was total bag length supplemented by longest flat, longest round and smallest fish categories. Catches varied throughout the match length with mainly small whiting being the dominant species landed, complemented by a few flat fish.
Catching steadily, eventual winner was Steve Moffat having a cumulative total of 214cm. League champion Steve Bonner took second with England International Bill Lindfield third. Dale Glass stamped his mark on the smallest fish category having a sand goby of 7cm. There were numerous cash prizes for the other categories.
Thank you to all who took part and to everyone who has supported the club throughout another successful year.
The Points Table for 2022 has now been cleared ready for our new campaign beginning in 2023.
Vale Park 06/11/22
Vale Park was the setting for our final Clubman League match of the year where the format was set at each angler's best flat and round added together. There would also be an added bonus of a "Mystery Pairs" prize.
Fish were landed from the off and catches were in good numbers throughout, with the species list comprising; dogfish, ray, whiting, rockling, flounder and dab. However with the set format, it was quality over quantity that was required and, as is the case with these matches, it would be a tense wait until the final whistle to determine the result.
Mathematics applied, the winner was Steve Bonner, his dogfish and flounder combination culminating in 86cm. Dave Vernon was second with Jim Morris third. There were cash prizes for the top three and for the "Mystery Pairs" winners. Top duo was Nigel Conlon and Mickey Duff. Runners up were Mark's Allanson and Roberts.
Thank you to all who took part.
