Well all the matches have been fished, the nets weighed and the points totted up. It's time to reveal the SFC 'Fisherman of the Year' winner..... actually I can't it's too close to call, see for youself by clicking here!

[30/11/09] More Apologies (a technical difficulty)

Please accept our apologies (once again) this time it's my fault. I've had a bit of a technical hitch which has held up all the results I've been receiving. It's sorted now (just in time for the end of the season) but all the results are now up to date and we await yesterday's and the Christmas match which is next week.
It's going to take a couple of hours to get all the points allocated but I will put up the final 'Fisherman of the Year' table as soon as i can.

[24/10/09] Apologies

Please accept our apologies for the lack of results recently, we've had a few communication issues but everything has been resolved and normal service can resume.
The majority of results are up on-line now and I'll update the Fisherman of the Year table over the next couple of days.

[16/07/09] Weybred Match Report

Carl tells me Weybred was a nice day with no rain but the STAR of the day was John Ankers with a lovely 10lb 9oz common which is a PB for John.
What's more as there were no tench caught at Field Farm it was decided to roll the Tench Cup over to the Weybred match and John managed to catch two tench which weighed 4lb 10 oz.
Well Done John you deserve it!
