Trophy Winners for 2007/8

The match group saw the introduction of Team Pink for the 2007/08 season with 4 ladies regularly fishing club matches. With the introduction of "Birding", the jovial members of the match group have an extra reason not to come last.

The club has seen a cross section of venues to suit all including canals, rivers and commercial carp waters. With attendance on the up the outlook for new and challenging venues is a must. The national team had a good result this year fishing with one man down and at a venue never even seen.

The winter league team managed to make the final of the team knock-out fishing against Dorset Raiders on the Stour, but unfortunately the raiders team are river specialists and Andover were beaten on the day.

Out-going match secretary Dave Tucker presented the Trophies for the last time at the recent AGM.

Andover AC biggest ever 5 hour match weight Mike Berntsen - 160lb 4oz
   
Specimen Outside Club Waters Tracy Berntsen - Perch 3lb 3oz
   


The committee were disappointed at the lack of specimen entries this year. There were no tickets for Foxcotte and only 2 for outside club waters. Joe Stockwell for a 27lb 3oz Pike and Tracy Berntsen for a 3lb 3oz perch. This goes to Tracy on a percentage of the british record.
