Mark- all i know is Dorking had 7 section wins and a 2nd~clap ~clap

Hathers..Ben Leach won it with 32lb bream p2 below White Hart. You on Mole champs sun? Be my first mole match for a couple of years.

Is this a sign that Dorking are slipping, only 7 out of ten ~sick ~sick ~sick good luck to the chasing teams. I think they are gonna need it. What were the back up weights like?

I’m surprised they still put that peg in matches

Surrey Winter League, Wey Navingation Canal, White Hart to Blackboys, 59. Ben Leach (Daiwa Dorking) 31-2-0, Bream, log pole with worm and caster, peg two; Steve Hemmingway (Daiwa Dorking) 17-14-0; Adam Lee (Banstead) 1-4-0; Gary Pook 10-4-0 (Daiwa Dorking) 10-4-0; Ian Didcott 9-4-0; Will Raison (Daiwa Dorking) 8-6-0. Teams: Daiwa Dorking 51; Milo Borden 42; Banstead 41; Borden Shop Team 30; K. C. Angling 27; Guildford 18.

Why is the Bream peg put in? Once Ben drew that it was all over Red Rover.Blimey even i catch there(sometimes)lol.
Well done DD,but i heard Banstead did quite well.Looks like it fished okay.

Why would you want to leave it out – the only chance that the majority of the field had of beating the Dorking anglers was to draw a peg like that.

I used to run the Surrey Winter league so know it isn’t always won from that peg.

It is a fishing match where an element of the match is the draw – one thing that winds me up about the pegging in some matches is when the organisors leave out the fliers, as all it does is make another peg the flier.

who would want to fish a WL where your only chance of beating a competitor would be drawing a flyer?
I know my limitations and would fish a WL that suited it.

Yorkshire – They don’t, that is why there are only 6 teams in the league and 2 of them are shop teams just really fishing to make up the numbers so that 2 teams still qualify for the Semi final.

It is all well and good knowing your limitations but there isn’t always a “suitable” Winter Lague available in your area.

I have to agree with Pikey about leaving fliers in, I think the thought you may draw the good peg will help to keep people turning up . The league I fish also has the Nav as a venue, and that peg does not always win the section, let alone the match. In fact the peg down from blackboys, by the rail bridge is much more consistant and would be my prefered draw.

I will take my chances next week and take that peg now ally….

Oi, Its mine. Selfey, you have to get used to the fact that in our team I get the good pegs, and Cus gets the bad ones its just the way its always been.
