ACAS v BSDAS Beggar's Hall
3rd September 2025
​
Our latest inter club match with Bishop’s Stortford was fished at their Beggars Hall fishery. The recent change to more changeable weather led to more carp being caught from all around the lake. Although the winning weights weren’t great it was good to see most people catching carp. Team wise it was a very close run match with Bishop’s Stortford just edging out Abbey Cross with 40 points to our 38.

Memorial Match
Taylor's Car Park Lake 17th August 2025 ​
​
The annual Abbey Cross Memorial Match is held every year in memory of club members who are no longer with us. This year it was fished on the Car Park Lake at Taylor’s. It was a hot sunny day with just a light breeze, so conditions were far from ideal, however a reasonable number of bream and the odd F1 were caught from around the lake. I had the top weight with 33lbs 13ozs, after which the other framing weights were very close with Bob Walmsley 2nd on 9lbs 15oz, Jeff pearson 3rd on 9lbs 13ozs and Bob Fox 4th on 9lbs 3ozs.

CARP CUP & ATG CUP
NAZEING CAR PARK LAKE 20th JULY 2025
This match was fished on the Car Park Lake at Nazeing. Being a bit cooler than of late and with the odd shower hopes were high for some good weights. However, only a few fish were prepared to feed and consequently, weights were well down on previous year’s results. I had top weight with 50lbs 10ozs, Jeff Pearson was 2nd with 467lbs and Kevin Nimmo was 3rd with 26lbs 11ozs. We were also fishing for ATG Trophy which is awarded for the biggest carp caught on the day, this was won by myself with a fish of 15lbs 15ozs.

This match was fished on the Top Lake at Taylor’s. Following many week of cold weather and accompanying high pressure, we finally got some milder weather for this match.

Jeff Pearson had top weight with 42bs 2ozs, Steve May was 2nd with 19lbs 13ozs and I was 3rd with 17lbs 15ozs.

Top weight and the Officers Cup went to Alan Fox with 21lbs 10ozs, Alan Sims was 2nd with 12lbs 13ozs and Jo Smith was 3rd with 7lbs 9ozs.
