Round One - October 30 2010 - Barston Lakes

The first round of the Garbolino/Sensas CIPS rules league at Barston got off to a flying start as 13 teams of 5 lined up (65 pegs).
Most of the country’s top names were present and the league which has two matches at Barston, one at Gold Valley and one at Woodlands View look set to be a great event.

Barston fished amazingly with 36lb being the lowest section winning weight and only 8 anglers didn’t manage double figures. In form angler Darren Davies is the man to beat at the moment and he led the way with an impressive 40lb 2oz of roach, skimmers and a few F1’s from peg 118 on the gold course bank. Darren fished pole with casters and bloodworm over groundbait. It was a very tight finish as Steve Baraclough used similar tactics for 39lb 120z with Dan Ashington right on his heels with 39lb 2oz! 4th went to Cam Hughes, another man on form with 37lb 4oz.

Barnsley take an early lead into the second round with 24 points and Banbury are right on their heels only one point behind.

Round Two - November 13 2010 - Barston Lakes

Round 2 of the Garbolino Sensas CIPS rules league turned into another excellent match with some big weights again despite a bad frost.
Individual honors on the day went to another young rising star.

Kamasan Starlets and Young England’s Matt Derry came out on top after a peg for peg battle with England and Dorking Star Des Shipp. Matt took got the verdict from peg 118 with an impressive 36lb of pole and bloodworm caught roach, skimmers and a few F1’s. Second place went to Garbolino and Barnsley youngster Andy Geldart who had 33lb 6oz of skimmers from peg 26. Des Shipp was 3rd from peg 116 with 30lb 12oz.

Daiwa Dorking Black were first on the day with Barnsley only managing 2nd from the draw they won off last round. With two rounds to go its all still to fish for as the points are very tight between the top 5 teams.

Round Three - January 29 2011 - Gold Valley

A seriously cold easterly wind greeted the 65 anglers for round 3 at Gold Valley. lower weights were reflective of the conditions generally but there were areas which showed some good form. In- form Barnsley man Lee Kerry led the way pegged on Gold Lake with a big bream and a nice net of silvers for 14lb 12oz on pole and bloodworm over a double leam mix.

Topping up a few times to keep the fish coming and just enough to edge teammate Joe Carass into second by the slenderest of margins. Joe had an all skimmer catch on Middle lake, initially having to catch on the waggler but later found the skimmers queuing up on the pole line over his double leam mix. Joe finished with 14lb 7oz, just one fish short of victory.

Simon Wilsmore took third place with 10lb 13oz of big perch from peg 1 on Gold lake. John Parks guesting for Starlets filled the fourth spot with 9lb 5oz of waggled skimmers.

Team glory on the day went to Garbolino Banbury with a credible 20.5 points, they edged locals Dorking Gold and Dorking Black into joint second with 23 points.

Round Four - February 12 2011 - Woodlands View Fishery

The final round of the Garbolino/Sensas CIPS rules league was concluded in style at Woodlands View Fishery. Another young rising star in the form of Andy Powers of Thatchers Preston Innovations put in a stunning performance on High pool 31 to finish with 60lb 14oz of mainly F1’s. Andy caught shallow on caster at 13m to net approximately 35 F1’s. High Pool filled the top three places on the day with Micheal Buchwalder of Dorking sat next to Andy on peg 29 claiming 2nd with 39lb 12oz and Steve Townsend of Banbury Gunsmiths with 36lb 8oz again with F1’s shallow from peg 13.

Team honours on the day went to Dorking Black who finished with an impressive 15 points just 2 ahead of Barnsley. That 2nd place was enough for the Barnsley young guns consisting of Lee Kerry, Joe Carass, James Dent, Steve Barraclough and Andy Geldart to seal the league by a slender 2 point margin!
