:Dno wonder the fish don't know what they want to do 
feed one day sex another spawn another it must of been crazy for the teams practicing for the finali took a trip down to barston on sunday but left it until the rain had stopped,a light lunch at the club house with yanny gary and mr drennan before setting out for a walk round .we thought we would go to packington first as we could come back to barston to weigh in [well yanny and nigel could]packington wasn't fishing as well as expected with big weights coming out all week in practice.still we could see dorking performing nicely with steve hemmingrey,simon wilsmore and diddy all catching the signs were already there after winning the day before and drawing mark ones peg from the day before which had seen them go into second place with a great performance on day one.
from there we headed back to barston where we found a lot of long faces
and dry nets 
it was fishing rock hard and bonus fish were like gold dust no roach no skimmers and very few F1s feed .still most anglers were in good spirits [nigel had already loaded his gun ]still when fish want to spawn they will wether we like it or not and i felt for nigel [bring back the close season]at barston team wise it looked very different with saints,DNWand trentmen all looking quiet good and as l walked up the road side i bumped into steve sanders and we had quick count up of points even the mighty dorking had a blank at barston
still he also said at this point the other teams all had two or more so it looked good still for dorking bye the time we had walked around the final whistle had gone one or two had caught last minute fish so the result could of gone either way after a pint the results had been sorted everyone new dorking had won the final
yet it was the second third and fourth place that was the talking points around the club house with it being a team match and on two venues the final had no individual winners but simon wilsmore had two straight section wins and won over willy wheeler who also had two section wins on weight
as i didn't get the first days results this is how it finished overall
