Squad Gossip

Well its going to be a really interesting second half to our Club Fishing season with young Craig Meadows leading the points, this lad has continued to fine tune his angling and has surprised quite a few of us old ones, but then he hasn’t really discovered lager and girls - YET! Whereas Pete Alexander has, but he has also discovered golf so much so this has put his angling back twenty years - in fact on the match against Ockley he could be seen sporting a centre pin reel, a silly hat and a silly grin which Match Angler Magazine deemed to publish as a representation of Epsom Angling Society's match squad. Craig this is what lager and girls do to you (both can send you silly) Pete did win out of the Epsom lads though aaaah ! could be something in it,( Pete lend us that hat)

Its also becoming quite spooky within the squad as this years 4th Div National is on the Basingstoke Canal. Sporting a team of twelve and having fifteen members registered to choose from the most popular members of the squad are those who are picking the team, backsides are clenched already with comments like, “I don't care if I’m not picked”, “I won’t get picked anyway, you can drive your own minibus” with the most popular being, (get this) “Ready for another pint Jim”.

Keith Meredith is back on the scene after falling off wallet whilst out picking up tips from the Riverside boys on the Grand Union Canal in the New Year. His first match back saw him at Gold valley on the Willow Peg sporting an oversized Ski Boot. Most of the lads helped him to his peg and made sure he was OK. Steady Eddy being in the next peg, left him with the final words “Now be careful, if you need anything just shout”, well! Sometime later Keith fell off his box, kicked all his bait in the water shouted to Eddy for help but his cries went unheard as Eddy had turned his hearing aid off, - apparently he does this because he doesn’t like to hear other anglers enjoying themselves catching fish. As old Jimmy Greaves says - It's a Funny Old Game!
