The annual River Thame Championships took place yesterday on the river at Thame and Wheatley. During the week it looked very likely that the match would have to be rescheduled due to heavy rain on Tuesday. However, after rising quickly, the river dropped and the match was on. It was tricky to peg due to high levels but on Saturday it looked as though it would fish well. But it rained on Saturday night and this seemed to put the fish off feeding and it was hard all round. There were a few half decent weights but anyone with more than a couple of pounds was rewarded with good section points. The full results will be posted soon but congratulations to Cuddesdon Mill A who won the match. Thanks are due to Dave Lyne and the guys from Thame and Geoff Bond and the lads from the Wheatley and the New Club who put a huge effort in to prepare the river for the match and Tony Gee for running the raffle which raised money for both clubs.
