The retired section recently fished against the Birnbeck Club’s retired section for the Don Metcalf Trophy. The match fished on Clevedon Pier is fiercely competed by both teams, but in a friendly manner.

The Weston club managed to win this year with 39 points against Birnbeck’s 27. Weston team captain John May set the perfect example by achieving 25 points on his own.
