Bude canal angling club V Bideford and District Angling Club

Bideford’s team of 15 ventured across the border to take on the Cornish on their canal and the outcome was very close. Bude scored 234 points to Bidefords 230,.
Our club carried a 30 point lead from the first leg on Tarka swims therefore won overall by 26 points
Conditions on the canal were cold and windy with North Westerly squally showers.
The Bude captain led his team home with a terrific bag of 20lb of bream and skimmers on the second basin.
Our top performance was Keith Copland on the bottom basin.
Big thanks to the lads representing Bideford and a special thank you to Tom Wade Anglers Heaven for supporting the team with a generous bait sponsorships and the Brendon Arms for a great breakfast and a fine after match spread.
