AMFC Spring Association Match - Hanningfield

Friday 24th April was the date of this years AMFC Spring Association Match and it was held at Hanningfield Reservoir in Essex.

I was captain of the GWFFA "B" Team which also included Chris Lane, Steven Ellerbeck and Derek Bravington. This was our first match of the year as the newly formed GWFFA "B" Team so we were all enthusiastic and ready for the challenge.
The weather for the day was forecast to be bright and sunny with a strong breeze and lived up to the forecast. We had a hearty breakfast at the lodge, tackled up and boarded the boats.










Everyone was ready for a day afloat.



It was tough day in the end. I managed 3 fish and Chris, Steven and Derek all managed 1 each. Not a disaster though as there were 17 blanks for the day and only a handful bagged up.
We finished in 2nd place in our division (Division 4) beaten by East Mids.
1 extra bit of good news was we managed to beat GWFFA "A" Team (Richard Kesek (6 fish), Peter Hartley (blanked), John Weaver (blanked) and Tony Starling(1 fish))by 6oz's.
