EYEBROOK INTERNATIONAL

DISABLED INTERNATIONAL EYEBROOK

THE DISABLED INTERNATIONAL THIS YEAR WAS FISHED ON EYEBROOK ON 24th/25th JUNE.IT WAS AS USUAL A VERY ENJOYABLE FRIENDLY MATCH. A CHANCE TO MEET UP WITH OLD FRIENDS AND TO MAKE NEW ONES. THE WELSH TEAM CAPTAINED BY ALAN BUNYAN ARRIVED A COUPLE OF DAYS EARLY AND PRACTICED WELL AND WERE WELL PREPARED FOR THE MATCH AND CONFIDENT OF DOING WELL.

DAY 1 STARTED FINE AND WARM AND THE TEAM WERE ENTHUSIASTIC AND CONVINCED THAT THEY HAD THE RIGHT TACTICS BUT WHEN THE RESULTS WERE KNOWN IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT WE HAD NOT. WE WERE IN THIRD PLACE WITH 9 FISH, ENGLAND IN THE LEAD WITH 30; SCOTLAND WITH 29 AND IRELAND WITH 4. MOST OF THE FISH CAUGHT WERE TAKEN ON SINKING LINES

DAY 2 HAD SIMILAR WEATHER CONDITIONS. OUR TACTICS HAD HOWEVER CHANGED AND WE WERE NOW ALSO FISHING SINKING LINES. ALTHOUGH EVERYONE FISHED HARD AND NEVER GAVE UP IT WAS SOON OBVIOUS THAT WE COULD NOT HOPE TO CATCH EITHER ENGLAND OR SCOTLAND. .
