This match took place to allow all Ray`s mates to pay their respects in away that Ray would have enjoyed.
Ray was sadly taken from us last year in a motorway accident last year.
At the draw it was clear that the day ahead was going to be an enjoyable one with everyone winding each other up.
The owner Mike led the way by after selling all 36 anglers his own fisheries pellets he then announced that all pellets were banned,most of us saw through this but not The Flagger (Craig Ritchie)he was well and truly hooked in the top lip.
Poplars A.C secretary Ste Ritchie at arriving at his peg set up his pole then took out his lovingly prepared bread rod complete with hook and lead unfortunately all his end tackle had become tangled, this was untangled with the aid of Dave Brown,with only minutes to go before the all in he launched his1oz lead towards the island 50 yards away, it`s then that we all heard that unmistakable sound of 8ld technium parting company with his lead.Lesson to be learnt Steve make sure your not clipped up at 20 yards next time.
A big thank you to Mike Astbury for organizing this match his efforts have helped raise 180 pounds for Cancer Research.
