MATCH RESULTS 2007

30/12/07 OPEN MATCH RIVER DERWENT MATLOCK& MATLOCK BATH

Twenty eight anglers contested the open match on the river Derwent and although the river had risen and was coloured due to rain the day and night before was fishable after many cancelations this year. Most anglers caught on the day but the extra water and then the river dropping during the match reduced the weights ,although N Ellis found some big grayling on peg 44 to win the match comfortably. Second place was a close thing with C Hargreaves on peg 37 at Matlock Bath ,getting it by one ounce (and he missed the net with one fish!) from J Reynolds on peg 59 the sandbank .

The results were:-

1st       N ELLIS                        PEG 44               9lb  13oz

2nd      C HARGREAVES        PEG 37               7lb   7oz

9/12/07 ANNUAL FUR AND FEATHER TANSLEY POND & PRESS MANOR

The venues changed twice in the week running up to the annual fur and feather match due to heavy rain ,a change having to be made the day before due to Cawdor ponds flooding and the river unfishable .The match was held at Press Manor Fishery and Tansley pond ,in what was after the week before ,quite pleasant conditions.After an enjoyable breakfast at the Horseshoes Matlock Green the draw was made at 8am by around 40 anglers with various opinions which venue would produce the winning weights ,at the end it was a close thing between the two lakes with carp dominating the top weights.The overall winner was J Hughes with 20lb 12oz on peg 9 at Press, closely followed by D Fowler with 19lb 14oz on Tansley, it was again close for overall third place with R Needham getting it by four ounces with 15lb 6oz ,helped by probably the best fish of the day, a carp around 10 pounds.

18/11/2007 OPEN MATCH RIVER DERWENT MATLOCK

Seventeen anglers turned out for the open match which began with heavy rain and got worse as the match went on turning to sleet then snow ,turning the river overnight from running clear to rising and mud coloured. G Barfoot made the most of a good draw on peg 57 to win comfortably with many anglers not weighing in or finishing early due to the rising river which made fishing difficult.
