Tales
of Red Hill:
The few who turned up said cheerio to Navy Lark, Duane, saw Speedy draw #1
& pick the flier peg 4 only to miss out! In truth there were more absentees than anglers this week but
inspite drawing the last number in the walk-off, Robin managed to make it 3 on the bounce. We all took an early bath after
some surprisingly good fishing...
3rd Sirhowy A
21pts The day turned into a father
and son affair for the Prosser family as they took the top two places with son Sam coming out the winner just edging out his
father. The winner of the recent Iffers festival, Sam took a string of good fish on paste fished as did his dad two pegs away.
Alan "Subby" Simmons took his fish on corn over pellet feed.

Keith Wilcox proved a popular winner of this prestigious match, taking a nice net from Penny's. The match
was well organised by the irrespressible Mike Yandle, who made sure everyone picked up, (even the blankers!). Brian Prothero
was deservedly named clubman of the year, whilst the excellent Simon Jones took the top honour by a clear margin from Rob
Jones. After the match Bomber and his team put on a super spread.

The westerly
wind made it tough for competitors on the shallower North bank of both lakes to fish the required distance. However,
Howard Green could smile at the carnage opposite as he took a comfortable win from cosy peg 4! But for breaking his elastic
Sheppy might have got closer on peg 6. Oh, and James Barnett broke another section of his new pole!

he did so this week with an impressive bag from peg S16. He edged out the in form Steve Shaw who lead the way on Molly's.

weight. Oh - Speedy D.N.W'd!!

WFA National Championship
The Cwmbran Nobblers Blue team of Bob Giles, Rob Wiltshire, Ian Exall, Rob Skillet and Phil Weaver deservedly won
on the day, with Bob Giles also taking the individual title. Bob drew peg 2 on the prolific Sophie’s pool and took fish throughout fishing
the long pole shallow at 12 metres. His catch was boosted in the dying minutes with 2 fish, both in the region of 12lbs. Tony Summers who had enjoyed a terrific
battle with Rob Wiltshire on Molly’s pool took runner-up spot. Tony, back fishing for Cardiff Nomads after many years
caught smaller carp on various lines, all on pellet from peg 19.The two sections on Penny’s lake proved to be the closest, Lyn Jones and
Mark Holden doing well to win sections B and C respectively, both working hard to take mixed bags on a variety of baits and
methods.The
unknown quantity was Tilly’s lake, as it is rarely match fished, but this too came up trumps with a 90 lb plus winning
weight for Richard Baldwin.

for many weeks, but Lyn Jones put in a great effort and gave it a corn and pasting to record the only double ton. He
was closely followed by Mark Guerra on the next peg who also used paste.
On Molly's Howard Green made no mistake

Mike Yandle seems invincible at the moment, regardless of which lake we fish. Rob Jones

The thing that is very noticeable this year is the "winning" pegs are not as easy
to predict. What can be said is that at Redhill, the best anglers, and those who get it right on the day will come out on
top. This was proved with venue maestro, Mike Yandle winning from peg 2 on Molly's whilst using pellet shallow - a
big change from his usual corn tactics. Steve Shaw also "double-tonned" again, in what was yet another great match
at this superb fishery.

After missing out previously when drawing the Golden Peg, Alan
Davies made no mistake this time with his best ever Redhill weight from Sophie's peg 11. Alan took big fish steadily
throughout the day on pellet. Running him close on the lake was the Marukyu Man, who again drew peg S2 where he fished corn.
On Molly's, top weight and another double ton, was Howard Green who was returning after a week's walkabout.

Can anyone stop Mike? Another super display of margin fishing finishing 11lbs ahead of Alan
Davies on peg 19, who was left rueing several lost fish - according to him 100lbs of them! Arguably performance of the day
goes to Steve "Marukyu" Shaw with 152lbs from peg2.

Mike "Cornmaster" Yandle at last drew the Golden
peg (S14), and he made certain that he didn't "duck out" with another superb display of margin fishing.
Steve Shaw just "ducked below" Mike's winning weight with a creditable 160lb from peg 4. The lean Green baggin'
machine took third spot despite being "hen'd" in the rushes. Brian "Daffy" Prothero won the prize
for being the most entertaining.

Wednesday 8th June - Open
Molly's pool was again more consistent than
Sophie's on a day when the carp were not as responsive as usual. In an ultra close finish, Redhill regular, Alan Davies
showed his class by narrowly defeating Mike Yandle. Alan was pegged up wind and caught steadily throughout on pellet.
The Singing Cormaster was left rueing not having a duplicate rig to hand having trashed his margin set up with 5 minutes
to go with his peg boiling withfish. Alan's winning margin was just 12ounces!

After "meating
out" some punishment to the English on Monday, the lean Green bagging machine was unstoppable two days later. His 185lb
bag of small carp left him clear of the field. Also on Molly's, Alan Davies came second despite losing a "massive"
fish at the end - it was at least 4 lbs! Top on Sophie's was Shep, who again took mainly small carp on pellet. The Marukyu
man still managed runner-up, despite spending most of the day salvaging rigs from the margins.

When Shep found himself on Molly's in the centre
of the dam wall, facing the wind and no sheep to tend it was game over as he proceeded to take an excellent 180lb bag. The
"margin maestro", Steve Shaw did another great job with corn from Sophie's peg 18 to take runner-up. His chauffeur,
Alan Davies, came third from the dam wall on Sophie's.
Quote of the week goes to the "angler"
formerly known as "The Legend"; "when I turn up to fish, I can't be beat". He beat 2 with
his 79lbs! For some strange reason he now wants to be called "The Machine".

Open - Sophies
It is now official, peg 14 on Sophie's is Marukyu man, Steve Shaw's 2nd home! This is
the 7th time he's drawn it this year, and he used corn over pellet to put a double ton on the scales to win. On the
peg to Steve's left, Lyn Jones had a similar number of fish, but all much smaller specimens taken from the margins. To
the left of Lyn, Alan Davies missed out on the Golden Peg opportunity with 3rd spot.

Open - Sophie's
Brian Prothero has been in good form of late and he made the best possible use of drawing hot peg
19, as it was also the Golden Peg, so he took home £145 for his efforts. Alan Davies took the runner-up slot from
his favourite peg, beating the Marukyu man, Steve Shaw into the bargain, who in turn battered RoL off the next peg.

Daiwa Gordon League star, Richie
Hoskins is in a "rich" run of form lately and he made no mistake from corner peg 17. A late run of bigger fish,
including a fabulous common of 14lbs 4oz, eased him well past the field. Mike Yandle tookthe runner-up spot from
peg 13, edging out Brian Prothero. The wanderer, Andrew Mumford returned and finished 4th from peg 19.
Tony Summers took the other section from peg 5 thanks to a very fast start. Steve Squirt was marukyued
either side for a change! We also solved the mystery of where Alan got his tail - Mike spotted a tail-less squirrel!

ROYAL OPEN MATCH on Sophie's, Molly's and Penny's
A cracking match was organised and very well run by Mike with 47 anglers spread across all three match lakes. As expected
the Sophie's and Molly's dominated the leader board where a peg to peg battle on Sophie's 18 and 19 between Pip
and Paul Phillmore was split up by Crocker from peg 2 on Molly's.
Full report to follow soon!

Marukyu-backed Steve Shaw likes to get on the corn in the margins and he
did so to good effect taking an excellent near 200lbs of big fish to the scales from peg 12. Alan Davies and Howard Green
had a next peg battle, with the returning from illness Alan coming out on top.

Howard Green showed his class and experience this week by coming from behind to overtake
the field and finish 12lbs clear despite pole breakages, rig losses and a bit of hedge cutting. His win was made even
sweeter as he drew the Gold Peg! Rich Hoskins got off to a flying start from hot peg 16, but a slower second half of the match
lost him first place. Despite the cold, wet, and blustery conditons the top 6 all broke the ton barrier. Speedy was sadly
missed due to illness, but Tony the Jockey made up for his absence with some equally weird statements! -
e.g. "The
cows are shrinking"

Open - Sophie's
Mike Yandle rarely makes a mistake, so put him on peg 19 and you have a winning
combination, and he duly delivered with an excellent bag just under the 150lb mark. Tony Summers put a stagestruck two weeks
behind him as he shallowed fished pellet to take runner-up from unfancied peg 6. Despite coming third, Howard Green still
managed to moan throughout as he suffered from the wind, more than making up for his absent "buddy", Alan Davies.
We send our best wishes to Alan, who is recuperating after surgery. The "Legend's" 60lb fell well short of the
frame, but as he explained he would have won had he fished shallow - that clears that up!
