I've broke every record for drawing near bridges its broke all records for bad weather and its broke my personal record for the most banter 
at which point I'd like to thank everyone who got involved with the league 
there's a old saying "the no such thing as a stranger he's just a friend you've never met yet" and the wigston league was all about meeting new and old friends again anyway the buzz at choices cafe was all about the anticipation of how the canal would fish now the warmer weather has arrived
slapped in my hand was C11
9 blanks in a row the last time the section was in 
but then i was told that a couple of teams had not come and i was on endpeg 
at last a endpeg but what would i do without my beloved bridges 
we made our way to the canal parked up and gear on the trolley 
i thought i would of had a long walk but the section low th high numbers making me the first peg and yes in sight of a bridge so i felt really at home
ok i'm a long way off but its a bridge
and to my right i could only see three other anglers in my section and then it went around a corner
to the good pegs where the likes of joe oakes and brad titmas had drawn
after a conversation with the owner of the house opposite i was about 30 metres to far up the canal as he feeds the fish everyday in one hole 
i didn't have a bomb rod with me he wife then asked if i would reframe from taking my trouser snake out during the match as they were having guests around for sunday dinner
everything looked good at the start everyone had bites straight away off roach some thought it would be a G/B job and others a bread job ME i did both putting 4 balls of G/B 16metres down my peg just in case one or two of the hand reared tench and bream might come up ::) ::) ya right
anyway my bread line was good and i could see the three anglers were catching but not as fast as i was but suddenly it was like switching a light off
everyone stop catching it was a game of starting up new lines and pinching odd fish off them all and with the added boat traffic most of these lines were right across the other side in inches of water still i did have a bit of luck
i managed a pound skimmer hooked right in the end of its tail it seamed to take for ever to land it 
but once in the net the banter started by the end of the match i thought i'd done quite well i new that through the bridge they had caught a lot better but that was another section
i walked up to see the rest of the section and after walking for a mile i could just make out the the group of anglers with the scales
hammo,maddog were also up there [that just shows you how long the section was i didn't hear hammo once
]just before hammo weighed in i looked at the board
6lb 5lb 5lb 5lb we hadn't had any where like that at our end hammo took his fish out ;)well at least i'd beat him i thoughtbut maddog had took us both to the cleaner then brad titmas announced he'd had a tench at the end about 3lb i was lasst to weigh i picked my net out :-/sh#t i thought i had more than that 3lb 6oz i managed to beat the anglers i could see but that was it 7points it had really fished wellbanter banter banter
all the way back to the van the 6lb in my section was good for second in the match
well done ron scales nott AAback at the pub oadby A couldn't be beaten and well done to them the early rounds really paid off
we managed 2nd and 3rd on the team front so it wasn't bad after the start both teams had adam its been a pleasure fishing the league and i hope anglers remember just how much work goes into the league and i hope the conditions haven't put too many off
OADBY A
bunch of scruffy herberts
for some of my previous comments and so shall leave it to you, Hammo, Maddog, Colly, Pinkie and CWH to have all the fun.
- perhaps you'd better come and try and win a mars bar off the Chockie Munster on our next match 
.also giving the mighty joff a battering as well what an angler .adam sign him up now before sensas make a move
