Points Match 4, The Old West, 1st August 2021 Numbers this week were down slightly with a few regulars unable to fish but it was still a good match between the eleven that could make it. Gwyn drew the favoured No 10 swim again this year [...]
Points Match 3 Burwell Lode Upware 18 th July 2021 With no official weed clearing now being undertaken it was down to a few volunteers to prepare the swims. Special thanks therefore go to Colin Jakes, who hasn’t fished a club match for several years but [...]
Points Match 2 The Lark 4 th July 2021 We again fished the section upstream of the moorings, partly because there were 19 booked to fish, which the more usual downstream pegs could not accommodate, and partly because it is considered a more even and so [...]
Points Match 1, The Cam, Baits Bite, 20 th June 2021 There were a few regulars missing for this match, the unseasonably cold weather, heavy rain and significant weed growth didn’t bode well for good catches and this had made many stay at home. The more [...]
Sweepstake 1, Mepal, 7th June 2020 For many this was the first match opportunity following an easing of Covid restrictions and sixteen turned up to see if they could still fish. Trevor drew everyone’s pegs, a measure to maintain social distancing, and some including himself were [...]

Points Match 7 Reach Lode, Upware 13th September 2020 Without considerable effort from Ken, Glen, Mike, Simon and Trevor, who diligently raked all swims during the week prior to our visit, it would have been impossible to fish. For anyone who hasn’t visited Reach Lode for [...]
Points Match 6, The Cam, Horningsea Boats, 30th August 2020 Apart from an obvious abundance of streamer weed, conditions seemed near perfect with some colour in the water and a medium flow. John had put in some midweek practice and reported that good roach, skimmer and [...]
Points Match 5, Mepal, 16th August 2020 Our previous match here on 7th June had been a disappointment for many, with 6 DNWs and only The Mepal Marvel recording double figures. This had persuaded several of this week’s challengers to try the Marvel’s double worm feeder [...]
Points Match 4 Burwell Lode Upware 2nd August 2020 The Lode has not been fished much this year due to the significant level of weed, in the week prior to the match it was in fact covered by a blanket of weed sitting just below the [...]
