Named and shamed TK Grueller match 6
Posted: February 4th, 2007, 11:38 am
Well well well well well well well…………..
What a turn up for the books Grueller match 6 was.
A depleted turnout this week was greeted by a hoar frost with overnight temperatures down to -4c.
Heinzer was recuperating from an operation, Zorro was in sunnier climes no doubt practising his sabre skills, Golden Balls still hadn’t recovered from the shock of not pulling a cock peg out and Simple Simon was chasing the dollar……or had he had enough of series?
After waiting an extra 5 minutes over the pre arranged meeting time for Hoddy and Barb, complete with expected sandwich orders, to show, the contingent entered the station on their own.
Would the station be pumping or would the Kidney Pond be cold and clear?
Didn’t look to bad at all, slightly clear, no vigorous pumping but a trace of war water entering as steam rose from it over two thirds of the length.
However what was concerning again was the resident shoal of fish didn’t appear for Ginger Toms maggots, nor BDM’s latest SB.
It was strongly suggested by certain quarters that peg 13 be left out and that 21 by the hurdy gurdy replace it.
So a decision was made to put both pegs in and whoever was fortunate to pull 13 could have the choice of pegs between the two.
The draw was made and Cotti was pleased to pull supposed plum peg 1 out. A few ‘pleased’ faces and a couple of grumpy ones. Geoff C was grinning from ear to ear to get away from corner 15 to fish peg 11, BDM’s resident peg this series. Mr V pulled out his lowest number peg 4 flanked to his right by Yamo on 5 and ME on 6. Names scribbled down, at the end the BDM was confronted with the choice of peg 10 or 2. Got to be 10…….no - out popped 2. His entitlement to the BDM title was gain called into question A cock peg today? All would be revealed as the day unfolded.
Cutting to the chase, two hours into the match, pegs 1-3 had thrown up a ‘massive’ total of 1 small chublet and gudgeon. Pegs 2 and 3 were dry!!! Whilst Cotti owned up to 3 oz.
Young Shaunie had had a walk about after the hour mark and was pleased to learn that his 2 gudgeon were worth good points today. Back to his peg not to be seen again meant he must have his head down having a few.
No Ginger Tom walking…………..he must be sacking in corner 14?
Tales emerged that ME had had a pull on his black hydro……..but had he managed to snare the beastie? Who knew?
A whoop of delight from peg 3 on the 3 hour mark………Rich C snared a decent roach knocking the pound mark. He was out of jail.
3 hours and 10 minutes into the match BDM was writing the headlines for this report…… ‘BDM goes one better than GT by recording a DN off cock peg peg 2’
Desperately searching for a bite, a gudgeon, anything. Hard up the distinct shelf across, just down the shelf across, in the track, left and right on his feet…………nowt.
Suddenly a twitch of the float and 20 secs later he’s avoided his greatest fear. Feed and ‘rest’ that swim for 5 mins and a switch to a different line saw fish number 2. Chopping and changing saw 5 fish in the net in the next 15 mins for another Harry Houdini.
Whistle and all out and here’s the results and table to date.

Tales after the event? Few and far between really – or admitted too.
GT had really enjoyed the day but couldn’t get out 7 ‘beasties’ he hooked in that corner 14.
Young Shaunie on his way to a decent weight off 12 lost a rub a dub at the net because it was too big to go in his landing net.
ME’s black hydro had been stretched but the beastie had sought sanctuary in the brambles.
Mr V got out of jail with 2 chub in the last 20 minutes.
With one match to go……………who wants cock pegs 1 & 2? BDM certainly doesn’t want 2 ever again……….
The combined absence of SS and the need for Harry Houdini exploits means no pickies were taken during infamous match 6
