Still I started with the usual breakfast collecting the money at the same time as eating. ( see very multitalented). Chris V came along to introduce himself ( did he recognise my finely honed body or was it my words to some members to stop being so tight and get their money out).
After shaking hands with him and then checking to make sure my watch was still on my wrist I did the draw.
As the wind was very strong blowing down the lake into pegs 7 and 8 these looked the favoured draw with those between 9 and 15 getting some shelter from the relentless gale. Unfortunately my compatriots left me peg 16 this week , stuck in the wind and shallow to 7 metres out
. Colin ended up getting peg 7, one off his favourite peg, with a good depth close in.The whole lake didnt fish well mainly due to the high winds for most making presentation very difficult and as anticipated the weights were down on previous years.
Thats 2 wins and a 7th for Colin and 2 seconds and a win for me from our first 3 matches. Can anyone stop the terrible twosome as we roll on to Rockells?
it was time for the draw - the favoured pegs are usually 1-15 especially with the wind blowing into that end so of course I did the complete opposite and drew 26 
not where I wanted to be especially with Dave's encouraging "that's a sh*te peg".
so the omens were not good.
