ROUND TOWN NEWS CHALLENGE CUP.
 
This week was the first round of the RTN Challenge Cup.

A series of 4 matches over the next couple of months.
( Again, thanks to RTN for sponsoring this series).
The match was held on the Rio Segura at the Eden canal stretch.
There are 2 teams contesting with 12 anglers in each team.
One team will fish the odd numbers and the other even numbers up to 24.
There are 4 sections 1-6, 7-12, 13-18 & 19-24.
The winner of each section gets 6 points down to 1 point and no points
if you have a dry net.
Points are then added up and this denotes the winning team.
The points are then carried through the series, and accumulatively added up.
If both teams score the same points then it is decided on weight.
The day although windy in the morning, eased down during the day however,
it never improved the fishing.
As was said before, English winter league in the sun.
There were some dry nets and this really influenced the overall result.
A superb catch from John Winstanley on a grim day and against all the odds
the river would produce a good weight like this, and also he was in my team.

DAVE HOARE.

Here's one of Dave's jokes, i thought it was good.

A teacher asks the class to name things that end with 'tor' that eat things.


The first little boy says, "Alligator."
"Very good, that's a big word."

The second boy says, "Predator."
"Yes, that's another big word. Well done."

Little Johnny says, "Vibrator, Miss."
After nearly falling off her chair, she says,
"That is a big word, but it doesn't eat anything."

Litle Johnny answers.
"Well my sister has one and she says it eats batteries like there's no tomorrow!"

Glos Anglings latest result will be uploaded towards the end of the week.
Until then bye for now STEVE.
