Kinglake 13/04/25
Our Clubman League continued at Kinglake, with the format based on the total length of each angler’s best five flatfish.
With the river not yet offering its full potential, catches varied significantly along the match length. By the end, some anglers had more than five fish from which to calculate their total length, while others had between one and five. With an absence of dab, it was plaice and flounder that contributed to the totals.
Once the measurements were tallied, the winner was Mike Flanagan, his best five fish totaling 166 cm. Phil Ord took second with 146 cm, narrowly pushing Ian Griffiths into third having 144 cm. Mike also had the longest round fish and Paul Bonner the shortest.
See the table below for a full roundup and the Points Table for the latest standings.

Tobin Street 28/03/25
Clubman Points on this occasion were awarded based on bag length, calculated from each angler's best flat and round fish combined. Given recent reports, the most effective strategy was to target a flatfish and either a ray or a dogfish to achieve maximum length.
Fish were caught from the outset and steadily throughout the match. While not in great numbers, there was a notable improvement from previous encounters; along with encouraging signs of spring species beginning to appear.
As with this type of match, the result remained open until the last cast. Once the scorecards were checked, it was Jim Morris who had acted on the aforementioned strategy , landing a dogfish and a flounder to take first place with a total length of 91 cm. Dave Ostler secured second place with 78 cm, while Simon Colman completed the top three with 61 cm.
Simon's dogfish of 61 cm gave him the longest fish category, while a 16 cm fish secured Mickey Duff the smallest. See the Points Table for the latest league standings.

Vale Park 16/02/25
The format for this event was set at each angler’s longest three fish. However, due to the time of year and biting easterly winds, none of the anglers were able to reach this target. In fact, more than half failed to record a single fish, and those who did managed only one or two.
That said, results were still determined for the application of Clubman Points. With whiting seemingly absent, catches consisted of dab, rockling, flounder, and plaice. After an ever-changing leaderboard, Roy Watterson came out the winner with two fish for 55 cm. Gary Ritson came second with guest angler Yury Kazlouski third.
Both, Paul Bonner and Roy had plaice of 32 cm thus sharing the longest fish category. Andrew Sothern's flounder of 16 cm gave him the shortest fish. Check out the Points Table for the current standings.

Mersey Road 02/02/25
Our 2025 campaign kicked off at Mersey Road, where, as expected for this time of year, fish were few and far between.
At this match Clubman Points would be attained from points awarded based on the size and species of fish caught. Although some pegs failed to produce, there were enough fish caught to make for a competitive match and determine a clear result.
After checking the cards and applying the relative points to each angler's catch, the winner was Gary Tull, who landed a cod measuring 48cm along with two whiting. Nigel Conlon took second place with a dab and four whiting. The remaining eight, points places all carded two whiting each, so the order was determined by longest fish.
Gary's cod also gave him the longest fish, with Nigel taking the shortest having a 12cm whiting in his catch.
