Team Image........was that the name then though?

following on the story from No Carp Please, can`t really remember what happened to Team Image in the nineties, they were still going around 1997 as they fished the Oxford winter league for a couple of years. I think they called it a day soon after, as Polly had already left to join Essex County and the remaining anglers just drifted apart. There was some connection with Mark Hoye and Kevin Stack who seemed to own Image angling products and Future fishing tackle. Polly worked for them for a while as a rep.
The current Team Image squad was formed around 2001 by former members of Trevs Browning, (who had disbanded in 2000 after getting fed up with the travelling to Oxford, summer and winter).
Some of the founder "new" team image anglers were Graham Dack, Johnny Weeden, Mark Hoye, Graham Smith, Lee Newson and Graham West. They had a couple of good hits in their first few years, winning a winter league semi on the K & A, finishing 3rd in the winter league final on the Nene and also coming 2nd in a canal national in the midlands.
I joined in 2004 and have been team captain for about the last 4 years. Many of the original "new" team image anglers have left, such as:
Dacky
Graham Smith
Jimmy Wilson
Billy Reynolds
Alan Reynolds
William Reynolds
Andy Gregory
Graham West
Lee Newson

However we have also recruited some top class replacements such as Gary Miller, Andy Mead, Steve Tyler, Simon Colclough, Danny Grimsey and Chris V to name just a few. Also got some up and coming youngsters, so we`re hopeful for the future.

Unfortunately team fishing looks to be a dying art due to a number of factors, however we`re still fishing and enjoying ourselves competing in the national, winter league, southern canal league and king of the fens league.

I just wish I could get our anglers to practise!
