This Sunday the 16th March 2025 will us run the TRC memorial. Its our tribute to the late great Terry Carroll of zziplex fame. In the TRC we cast all 4 core leads one of which must be a ground cast, the caster with the best aggregate score wins. There is 4 casts per lead so a total of 16 casts, therefore it will be a long day so please be early. Once again I would like to remind everyone that vehicles are not allowed into the fields, sorry. Hope to see you all there.

Today was a normal field day in which casters can cast any lead they choose, with the TRC event soon some practice their ground cast. We had one daycaster today and a welcome return of Cain who managed a pb today, well done lad. Now for the weather report, it was forecasted to be a south west wind which meant setting up the oche at the top of the hill and aiming the court towards the gate, this meant a slight slope to the oche but we are used to it by now. The wind was mainly south west most of the day but did shift a bit towards the last few rounds, it was a steady 10/11mph with gust of 15 mph so not a bad day and it stayed dry for a change.

Today was members 175g day and 4 casters showed up, injuries and romantic weekend keeping others at bay, well it is valentines weekend after all, just us old married guys were allowed to cast. The forecast was for a south east wind of 23mph and rain from 2pm, we got a easterly wind (cross court) and rain at 12.30pm. Given the forecast we set up in the upper field casting from flat ground up the hill, now this field has been covered in silage so was a bit slippy under foot and add in the early rain it became very difficult to cast. We decide to cut short the casting by one round and head for the cars given the conditions a wise choice. Anyway top marks to Stevie on a fine display of casting winning today with a 245y cast, the battle for second was where the action was, as each cast saw Louis and myself change positions. Thanks to all for helping set up take down and move the court.

results for 175g day 16/2/25

Stevie  =  245y

MC  = 189y

Louis  = 187y

Graeme  = 181y

today was practice day for the 175g event in two weeks, so everyone was casting the big lead. We has a southwest wind turning westerly forecast with light rain until 11am, so we set the court up in the top field and angled it downhill. As predicted the rain stopped after 11am but the wind died as soon as the court was set up, so no wind and high pressure didn't help matters. Some of us had a good day with Rath hitting another pb of 181y, well done that man, while others had difficulty finding the court.

results for 2/2/2025

Graeme 175g = 198y

MC 175g = 194y

Tommy 175g = 183y

RATH 175g = 181y PB

Louis 175g = 180y

Today was our first event of 2025 and the lack of practice showed on some of us. The weather was kind to us with a dry day and Southy winds from 7 to 12mph. We had a couple of new faces today, so welcome to Jim and young Camryn and welcome back Ryan. With the field being soft no cars where allowed in so it meant carrying the court to the top field and the whole way to where we place the oche. As mentioned we had a Southy wind today so set up in the top field casting from the flat end across the hill. Seeing as no car where allowed in the field tackle boxes were lightened which meant someone forgot there reels (Benny), carrying less meant fewer rods too so most stuck with the same lead all day and Graeme was casting with his fishing gear. Well done to all who managed a PB today.

Results for 19/1/25

Rath 150g = 167y PB
        175g = 168y PB
