2017 - River Soar (natural) on the Brinks on September 12th - MAS team practice

 Forgotten event by me but reminded as a Facebook memory appeared to save the day 

Julian Warrington - winner on the day with a skilful catch - Top angler and great friend

Mick 'Badoosh' Carr - Perch and Bream Wisperer - best mate in the world and known him since we were 11 years of age - Now Canal and River soar expert on his day - also a winner of a SVWL match ( i have never done that )

Clive Lloyd - Stick float master and massively experience on the Trent and Dove as well as the Soar - exceptional angler that can adapt to any form of fishing

Martin Jaques - Incredible angler on his day and caught one of the largest weights on the river Soar , i think he had over 50lb on a flooded Soar and came second !

Andy Porter - brought in from the incredible Greenhill AC - Great team man and learned quickly in the SVWL.

Mark Russel - fished for many teams in the SVWL and joined the MAS for a couple of seasons - lets say he is a lively character 

John Kilby another product of Youth anglers from GAC - learned well on river and canal - he needs to look after himself and control his weight , i wish him well.

Mr 'Bluntz' - Has been a regular on SVWL for many decades and joined us - only person i know who fished a match on the Trent at Branston (on Gold course) and lost where he had an accident in his car !! Thankfully Reynolds and Petch found it for him 😂😂😂
