THE MISSING U-52 SPOTTED AT LINGMERE

18 Of our boys waged war with Lingmere on Sunday and were at action stations when the periscope of U52  surfaced in front of peg 13.

Patto tried the depth charge approach to stop it by putting  6 two pint pots over the top of it to no avail .Cookie and Lee then peppered it with bomb and feeder but failed .It was left to Patto to snare the underwater menace with the pole to bring the excitement to an end . The top 4 was then handed back to it's rightful owner Keiran . Excuses were offered and a sloppy top was the one accepted .

I thought that was something you asked for in a massage parlour when offered extras !!!!!

Flat calm with sunshine seemed to deter the Monkey method boys but despite this plenty was had by all.

Six sections of three made up the field and and the winner today was Dave Edwards

Having around 65lb in the net with an hour to go he ran out of bait and had to abandon the long shallow approach with no maggot left .

In second place was the Ginger Midget , despite claiming to have about 20lb at the finish the little scrote weighed in 55.04 for a well deserved second place.

Coming third was the ever popular Nicky H having badgered Patto with support from Davey H all match he put together 52-05 for third . Funnily enough he finished with 9 gallons of Maggot left - Dave E remember this next time you run out.

In the sections the results were as follows

A     Nicky 52-05

B     Audi Lee 33-01

C     Dennis    55-04

D     Normo    

E     Dave E  70-09

F     Claude   48.07

Well done also to Housey who after working all night still managed to stay awake and push Claude all the way in a tight section.

As usual controversy was not far away and a slight mix up between Norm and Eric saw them sitting on the wrong pegs .To be fair they  did draw about 5 minutes before so to be expected from two of our senior members , sorry  - HELMETS.

Cheers Boys see you soon
