WELL AFTER NOT FISHING FOR ALMOST 6 MONTHS THE LAST WEEK HAS BEEN A DREAM, STEVE FORESHAW AKA CAPTAIN CONTACTED MYSELF AND SAID I HAD BEEN DRAFTED IN AT THE LAST MINUTE TO FISH FOR OUR SUPERCUP TEAM AGAINST KERNOW AND EXETER AFTER NICK JONES HAD TO GO TO SEA ON A MISSION. CAPTAIN STEVE EMAILED THE TACTICS FOR THE MATCH AND SAID DO NOT MESS UP!!! WELL AS IT HAPPENED LUCKILY I DREW IN FORM PEG ONE AND WON MY SECTION WITH ALMOST 50LBS ON THE WAG AT DEPTH , THANK GOD FOR THAT AT LEAST NO EARBENDING FROM THE CAPTAIN. THE TEAM DID REALLY WELL AND WON 6 OUT OF THE 8 SECTIONS TO GO TO THE NEXT RD. WILL BE WAITING FOR HOPEFULLY MY CALL TO COME INTO THE SIDE AGAIN AS RESERVE AND DO A DAVID FAIRCLOUGH AGAIN !!!

I HAD TO GENTLY LET DEBBIE KNOW THAT THE UPCOMING SILVER FEST RUN BY HAINSEY WAS A 4 DAY EVENT AND NOT 2 DAYS AS SHE HAD THOUGHT FOR A WHILE AS I WAS DYING TO FISH IT, LUCKILY ON THE THE FIRST DAY PEG 3 ON TANNERS PRODUCED 44LBS OF SKIMS AND A BROWN ENVELOPE FOR DEBBIE , THIS SWEETENED THE BLOW AND ENABLED MYSELF TO FISH THE NEXT 3 DAYS LUCKILY. ANOTHER ENVELOPE ON THE SECOND DAY AND A SECTION WIN ON WOODY 16 WITH 39LBS SENT DEBBIE INTO RAPTURES IT WAS LOOKING GOOD , HOPEFULLY NO DIVORCE. IT WENT A LITTLE PETE TONG ON THE 3RD DAY ONLY 17 LBS ON TANNERS 30 AND JOINT LAST IN SECTION BLEW THE CHANCES OF WINNING THE FEST, BUT A SECOND IN SECTION ON FRIDAY AND 30LB OF SKIMS JUST BEATEN BY COLIN MERCER OFF THE NEXT PEG GAVE DEBBIE ANOTHER ENVELOPE . I HAVE NOT ENJOYED MYSELF FISHING SO MUCH SINCE FISHING THE OLD CYPRUS FESTIVALS 15 YEARS AGO UNDER CHRI BECKER, HERBIE , CHRIS HAINES AND THE LADS RAN A FANTASTIC FEST, EVERY ONE WAS SO HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY IT MADE FOR A GREAT WEEK , THANKS HERBIE AND DEBBIE!!
