Guest frames in Cashmore Grueller Series

The match fishing world was rocked today when 55 year old Aldridge angler , Trevor Beckett
( sponsored by Ralgex ) achieved his long held ambition of framing in the exclusive Cashmores
Grueller Match Series .

The contest , fished on a rock hard Cannock Extension canal was held between 11 of Cashmores top anglers ( TK having been awarded another duvet day ) Heavy overnight frost and a frozen canal meant that ice needed to be cleared from most anglers pegs . The hard faught contest was nip and tuck and at the weigh in less than a quarter of a pound separated the eleven anglers after 4 hours of top match fishing ..

Mr Beckett achieved his second place by fishing bread punch on a 3 metre whip and built up his bag of fish which included roach and perch â€“ he was pleased when the beam scales confirmed his weight at 2oz 9 drams .

The match was won by ever reliable Mr V who amassed 3oz 2 drams in this top quality contest , the 9th of the current Grueller series. Third place was taken by Tricast who had built up his bag of wasp perch .

In his acceptance speech Mr Beckett wished to thank his late parents for their support of his angling persuits and also dedicated his performance to his boyhood angling hero , Ivan Marks .

He feels that this his first framing performance for Cashmores , a top quality field nudges him one step closer to being named in the exclusive Barnsley Blacks match team .

When asked how he was going to spend his winnings Mr Beckett refused to deny that they would be consumed in his lifelong persuit of wine , women and song .

Neither Barak Obama or David Cameron were available for comment .
