As you were! Keynsham win a surprise reprieve from relegation

By The Bristol Post at 05:00 on 23/05/13

KEYNSHAM have been spared relegation from Western Counties North, despite finishing second from bottom. Two teams have been promoted into WCN from Somerset Premier – champions Chew Valley plus Midsomer Norton, who defeated Frampton Cotterell in a play-off. And Norton's success, combined with a customary round of geographical rebalancing across the South West league pyramid, all helped save Keynsham from the drop. Walcot have...
What a whopper! James lands a rainbow trout monster at Chew

By The Bristol Post at 05:00 on 22/05/13

THE latest in a long line of monster trout to come from Bristol Water's Chew Valley Lake is this 8-1-0 rainbow caught by Cornish flyfisher James Kennedy while boat fishing with local guide and former England team member Martin Cottis. The fish, which fell for a size 14 Diawl Bach nymph, stripped more than 60 metres of line from its captors reel on its first run and fought for more than 30 minutes before being netted. The weekly...
Full house at Bitterwell Lake as friends turn out in force to honour Ian's memory

By The Bristol Post at 05:00 on 22/05/13

TWENTY-two angling friends turned up to honour the memory of the late and great Ian 'Bloke' Pulsford in a sell-out memorial match staged at his beloved Bitterwell Lake. Tickets were sold out within minutes of being available, forcing lake manager Clive Reid to increase the number of pegs to an absolute limit at the popular Family lake. He said. "Ian was a brilliant and very popular angler. I could have sold three or four times...
DRG Frenchay relegated after defeat by Rockleaze

By The Bristol Post at 05:00 on 20/05/13

DRG Frenchay face relegation from the David Wilson Homes Gloucestershire County League after defeat in their final game left them at the bottom of the table. Rockleaze triumphed 2-0 at their fellow Bristolians, which saw Frenchay slip to the foot of the standings on goal difference and moved the victors up to third place. The three-way battle to avoid the bottom two places became one from two on Wednesday when Taverners blew their...
Tony Rixon braves windy conditions to take the Acorn Fishery honours

By The Bristol Post at 05:00 on 15/05/13

BRISTOL'S Tony Rixon beat Wells-based Tom Thick by the weight of an average-sized Acorn Fishery carp in round five of the fishery's Pole Only series at Kingston Seymour. Gusting winds made fishing uncomfortable. Big weights were not expected and Rixon was the only competitor to hit the 100lb mark after drawing to fish the hotly-favoured Bridge peg 40 on the car park bank. At the start Rixon cupped up 4mm pellet to the far side of...
Longlevens boost title hopes with victory against Frenchay

By The Bristol Post at 05:00 on 06/05/13

LONGLEVENS moved to the top of the David Wilson Homes Gloucestershire County League for the first time this season as Gloucester rivals Tuffley slipped up at home. A 2-0 win at DRG Frenchay, coupled with Tuffley's 3-0 defeat to Rockleaze, leaves Longlevens top of the table on goal difference with three games in hand. Indeed, if the leaders can beat their city rivals in today's Bank Holiday home fixture, they would need one point from...
Carmelo Micchiche to step down as Rocks boss after six seasons in charge

By The Bristol Post at 05:00 on 03/05/13

CARMELO Micciche will step down as Rockleaze Rangers manager this summer, after six seasons in charge of the Coombe Dingle-based club. After the best part of two decades in management, Micciche is ready to step away from the frontline – and is pleased to be doing so after guiding Rockleaze to their best County League finish. They finished second from bottom last season – and have never previously finished higher than...
Phones come out on top in the Plate Final

By The Bristol Post at 05:00 on 02/05/13

THE Bristol Under-18 and Under-21 Combination League staged another highly-successful finals day at Brislington FC with all three games being close affairs. Bristol Telephones edged a scintillating Plate final on penalties with gutsy Kingswood after the sides had been in 3-3 deadlock after extra-time. An even match between two teams placed similarly in their respective divisions led to an action-packed encounter, with all the tension...
Bailey comes up with the goods to capture pairs title with Farnan

By The Bristol Post at 05:00 on 01/05/13

WESTERLEIGH Lakes fished well below par and Tom Bailey and Dave Farnan needed a combined total of just 34-0-0 to win the Kingswood Disabled and Over-55s Pairs Match. Both lakes remained still and clear for the duration and gave up very few of its prolifically stocked residents to the 18 members who fished. And as usually happens during pairs matches, the angler who wins the overall individual crown, also features highly in the pairs...
Frampton bow out of the play-offs with defeat at Midsomer Norton

By The Bristol Post at 05:00 on 30/04/13

FRAMPTON Cotterell had no complaints after slipping to defeat at Midsomer Norton in a promotion play-off for a place in Western Counties North. The South Gloucestershire club fought hard, but Norton shaded most of the important battles and eventually won with a bit to spare in front of a good crowd. Flanker Josh Sampson did his best to inspire Frampton with an all-action afternoon's work capped with a try in each half. But the clear...
