2024 - March 24th - Ivan MARKS memorial match - Wigston AC controlled GUC at Glen Parva - Mick Carr report

Every year the Wigston AC hold the IVAN MARKS memorial match on the GUC at Glen Parva/ South Wigston . This a must go to match in the events calendar and its not the fishing that counts its the event for the Great man.

IVAN the Great - Peoples champion

Start of the day at the Manor Restaurant for the breakfast .The lads diving in for Tea and Coffee

Short drive to the Crow Mills car park heavily populated by todays expectants 

My draw was peg 28 on the Crow Mills near to the very attractive fun station ( i dont think they serve beer though ?)

The match started and i place my usual food patterns to set the trap for the expected fish haul . After a few different areas i decided to keep to far shelf and take any pair of eyes going as i amassed so many fish ( i did not count them) .

I managed to win my section with 1-14 so happy days .

7th on the day against a class field 

Back to the HQ and beer was the order of the day as we say down ready for the results service

Top man Dave Mellors

The Yellow-Peril

First time a joint winner and so good friends Steve Brookes and Matt Hodgetts take (share) the honours.

My congratulations to Adam and John and the Team at WIGSTON AC who never fail to create a great day.
