Not a bad turnout with 10 competitors turning up. It was a cold and breezy start to the day, and it stayed that way! The Draw took place at 9am and we fished 10 - 3. The water was a horrible muddy colour and the fishing was very hard.

5 Match Report for New Lake near Great Rollright on 29/07/07
Well, what can I say. It was the first time for us at this lake and it looked really good. A nice size lake which would probably hold about 30 anglers, so for 15 of us we were well spread out. It had a nice colour to it and there was a light wind coming down over the hill. For most of the day you could see and hear the buzzards overhead and some swallows were dipping down for a drink. We were told that there was a fair head of carp in the lake ranging in size from 3oz to 5lb, with a few biggies in it also. We did the draw at 8am and fished 9.15 - 2.15.
At the weigh in Nick Collier came in first with 38.12.0 fishing the pole with mainly pellet as bait. In a close second was George Thomas with 37.2.0 again on the pole using meat on the hook. In third place was Steve Cox with 32.14.0 on the pole with mainly paste as bait. Worth a mention was the Junior match.

A good turnout for this match with all ten pegs filled. We were drawn on pegs 50 - 59 and drew pegs at 9am. It was quite a windy day and dry to start with.
