GREENGRASS  GREENFIELD GIVES THE FIELD A LICKING AT HAMPTON

18 of Eggy Ferry's finest made the trip to Hampton today. Though the fishing was hard The weather held off and there were some Hampton Lumps to be had if you could get them in.
When getting to our pegs most people noticed that the water was very clear which is not a good sign.
Housey informed us that the temperature on Friday and Saturday night had dropped to 2 deg C .Maybe that was was put the fish down ?, we will never know.
This weeks Hero at Hampton was John Greenfield . On peg 15 with Dennis and Spadger in his section John must of thought  " how can I beat these two legends ? "
He had little to worry about a they both fished like Bellends to give John the section money and 1st place on the day .From what I could see John caught most of his fish shallow at around 14.5 m on pellet and weighed in 38-03 for the win.
For Dennis this week there was no end peg and it told . 5 hours of Dennis's commentary on the experience of almost blanking was too much for some and singing the Dinker Donker Danker chorus was the only way to alleviate the ear ache for a few.
In second place today in section A was the Helmet of Hampton aka Sumo. A varied approach of feeder , down the track and shallow brought 31-14 to the net and was enough for the section.
In third place was Tony Trainor with Les and Terry in his section he managed 29-14 for the money. John fished long all day for his fish , o well done Tony.
In B section Kenny Stuart , Paul Robbo and Andy Lawton fought it out and Andy proved to be the winner with 25-12 beating the club eye candy Paul by a mere 5 ounces .
In C section Brisso , Nicko and Houso battled it out and despite venue expert Nicko being in the section Housey repeated last weeks section winning performance by catching 29-09 , Well in Housey.
In D Section Patto ,Eric and Cookie all caught unsteadily  and it was only the 2 carp caught down the edge by Patto in the first 10 minutes that separated the trio . 23-15 from Mr Mirth was enough to put more money into the Mirth Mobile on the way home.
Glad to see Robbo out again and despite him having Patto drooling over him all day I hope he enjoyed his day out with the Eggy Helmets.

Finally a little gem most of you may have missed but it tickled me.
Dennis was talking to Spadger about his family hiring a big country house for a get together.
A comment drifted across the lake from peg 7 which was " That will be a Dolls House then Den "
Classic

Cheers Boys see you soon
