Field cup 2017 results

The "Field cup is an annual event between five local clubs fishing teams of 8. This year it was Godalming AS turn to host the event on Marsh farm using six sections on Richardson lake and two on Harris. As usual it was a jolly affair with lots of banter amongst the teams but deadly serious for bragging rights. A cold week preceding the match made for difficult conditions for all but a few but Woking took the match and bragging rights with a team total of 18 points that included two section wins and four seconds. Old Winsor came second with two section wins also but a team total of 23 points. There was a tie on 26 points between Godalming and Send but Godalming had a better total weight 72lb to 46lb. Weybrige took the wooden spoon this year but will expect to do better next year when they host the event on the Wey Navigation canal at White Hart.

Team and section results listed below.
