It was from the Anglers Mail dated 6th June 1992 in which he gave a two page run down on the Trent at Swarkestone.

It read........

.'....by Daiwa Trentman Darren Bickerton, from Alvaston near Derby, who has a best Swarkestone match weight of 43lb. But his proudest achievement was winning the 400 angler, five match Derby Summer league on the venue in 1990'

How times have changed - the Club don't exist now.
