Match Scene
|
Over the last year
there have been some changes in the
match committee and a big effort has
been made to listen to feedback. As a
result we saw some six-hour
matches in the Summer, section pools
re-introduced and greater clarity on
pools payouts. We also introduced a
Facebook page
so that items of a more dynamic nature
plus input from members can be easily
accessed. This is a closed page - so you
need to be an existing or prospective VAC member to be allowed
entry.
Remember that you
can see all the results (and all
years back to 2001) on the match archive
at the bottom of this page.

Match news
That's it, the fat
lady has sung, Elvis has left the
building and the last Championship match
of the 2018/19 season has been fished.
If you don't know already I'll spoil any
further anticipation by announcing that
the winner is (again) Colin Rennison. To
be fair, Colin has had more than his
fair share of good draws, And to be even
fairer, Colin has made the most of each
draw - more than luck is needed as we
have so many good anglers now fishing
our matches. Well done Colin, well
deserved, overall winner despite not
actually winning a single match. You can
read, in Colin's own words and pictures,
how his season progressed
here. And let's not forget second
place Rich McCorry and thirds place Neil
Anderson. Although both some points
behind Colin's final tally a few better
results over the last matches, for
either one of them, could have seen a
different outcome. Remember, all the
banter, insults and incriminating
pictures can be found on the FaceBook
page.
Also news is that this most likely the
last Match News that I publish. After 18
years of creating and publishing the VAC
website and all it's ancillary pages I'm
stepping down and passing things over to
fresh pair of hands. Until my
replacement is up to speed I'll continue
to add the match results of course.
See you on the bank : Stan Kiddle

slightly on the day.
