Sad times for the Joffmiester
Posted: October 10th, 2013, 4:28 pm
After some great years with Leicester AS Home brewery and ultimately Leicester sensas i feel its time to step down as captain for the past 15 years when the late Ivan marks asked if i would consider the challenge to become captain of the great Leicester sensas i jumped at the chance and had some great times sad times but most of the time happy and laughter times amongst what i call the best anglers around. i feel i've done my best and need to concentrate more on my own fishing simply dropping myself for a quiet life has to stop .putting the team in front of my own family on numerous occasions and leaving holidays until the close season is how i considered the job in hand
I then found myself spending hours on the phone organising whether it was the team or organising matches it's all started to take its toll on my fishing.always trying to invent the perfect competition where everyone would be happy and ultimately trying to keep team fishing going .All this instead of taking my own fishing forward and looking into the future and not the past.
Ive spoken to past captains and all have said the same there becomes a time when enough is enough
Leicester sensas will always be in my blood its been my life and will never see the team short if needed. Its been a laugh and will miss them all the new faces as well as the old
It will be a new out look for me a new era where i can think of myself first go where i like and concentrate on winning and not on points if i draw crap its a early bath.I will wear my Leicester sensas clothing with pride i've had a long and in depth conversion with Trev and will still have the backing of Sensas perhaps more time keep everyone up to date on the website and newspapers its ten years since Ivan died this year and i'm sure he'd of said i'd given my best shot .
Natural venues are still my favourite whether its canals rivers or lakes some open water commercials still float my boat and feel i've missed out on a few selected matches either a league match or i've been running a match on the same day has always got in the way .Ireland is another so Tony if the offer still stands it could be Muckno next year
I would like to thank everyone for their support and advice and hope this will puts an end to the rumours
I wish all the the best to the New captain Nick moss and vice captain Roger Marlow i hope they can improve the squad and take them forward as i know the team is in good hands

and in stead of sitting on the bank wondering how the team is getting on, what problems there is, who will come back with good / bad points, you can actually just sit down and concentrate on your own peg and how you want to approach it.
