did i really want to drive to Evesham for the Team event. i prefer to watch the bank holiday Monday for one its a Team event and two its done on points so every fish counts. Well the journey down was just rain rain and more rain 
i had loaded my mountain bike in the back so it was on with gore tex and headed to the river . luckily with the bad weather i'd soon got down to the bottom and then made my way up
First one of our lads i saw was Danny although adey whittle was in the same section i couldn't even get my camera out for the rain . going back to the early pegs everyone had caught a few fish in the first hour . which is common at Evesham then starts to close up my next port of call was the gaffer . Mark looked and was dry as a bone and with young keef rolling out the instructions i left them to it
Going towards the fifties and fourties the river had started to pick up pase with all the streams and drains pumping fresh coloured water in. Yet still the small fish fed and the odd quality roach started to be landed . Next up was Darran Bickerton and one look at his face told the story
yet another Roach taken by a pikeDarran kept running and running it through until it went under and that time he landed it .
A little further down the section Alan too was having a nightmare with pike again his face said it all .
by dinner i left the the river to grab something to eat only to be introduced to the Irish tourist board boys who look after the Muckno angling needless to say it sounds like we are going to have a brilliant time Bill
i have quite a few beer vouchers 
anyway back to the river bank Sean Ashby had drawn one below the slipway and rumours had it that Sean had caught a few big Roach during the day. and he hadn't finished there as another graced his landing net .
Sean ended up with this quality net of prime red fins for 11lb 4oz and 2nd on the individual board .
On peg nine Adey Higginbottom of Trentmen had also had some big Roach all the way through day . Adey being a hard northerner had sat in just a polo shirt all match soaked to the skin. still with a winning catch in your net your not going to feel too cold
On the Team front the normal all the top teams were spread out with Barnsley on 2 and Dorking on peg set 3 and at the other end both starlet teams one on 11 and the other on 13 draw set . Well it could not of been closer as the sections were being weighed in . yet there was a surprise team appearing with some great section points while everyone thought it was between Starlets and Barnsley on peg set 4 Maver image had piped both to take the tittle of Evesham Team Champions by a single point
