Private Pond – Ruthie’s Cup – 14th June 2026
Round three and my group were at a little syndicate lake that we’ve kindly been allowed to fish again. Last year I drew the far end and had a cracking day winning the section with 31lb which included some lovely tench and crucians although in the previous two matches the near end has been the place to be with some big bream …
Stoke Pond – Ruthie’s Cup – 31st May 2026
For round two of Ruthie’s Cup, my group was supposed to be at Dillington but IAA had closed the lake due to the carp spawning so we were back on Stoke Pond but different pegs this time. After breakfast at Cartgate, it was time for the draw and I pulled out 14 on the far bank. I had a rig set up …
Stoke Pond – Ruthie’s Cup – 17th May 2026
For Ruthie’s Cup this year we were up to twenty anglers, so five per group to be split over four venues with each group visiting the different lakes once. The draw for who was in which group took place a week prior and I was in with the two Nicks (Payne and Veale), Danny Blunn and Stu Aplin, a great bunch of …
Private Pond – Ruthie’s Cup – 5th October 2025
For the rescheduled final round of Ruthie’s Cup, my group was at a little syndicate lake we were very kindly allowed to fish for this charity series. A proper little Crabtree venue that contains lots of tench and crucians plus some decent bream and loads of quality roach, rudd and perch, even better there are no carp, my idea of heaven! We …
Clivey Fishery – Ruthie’s Cup – 29th June 2025
For the penultimate round of Ruthie’s Cup it was our turn at Clivey, a cracking little venue (which I last visited in 2011!) that I used to fish quite a bit with Les and the Chard boys. We went to ‘Spoons in Warminster for breakfast which was really good before heading to the fishery. Chris’s better half, Helen (or Val according to …
Dillington Pond – Ruthie’s Cup – 15th June 2025
For round two of Ruthie’s we were at Dillington and after finishing second in my section at Hebditch’s, nothing other than a win would do today as I’m sure you’ll need maximum points or there’s an outside chance three wins and a second might sneak in. Pegs 1 or 2 are normally the swims to draw so when I opened my little …
Hebditch’s Pond – Ruthie’s Cup – 1st June 2025
Ruthie’s Cup is now in it’s fourth year and HRH has taken over the reigns from the Grand Wiz with the four match series now taking place on four different venues with very varied fishing and will make for an interesting contest. Who will be the next name on the trophy after Andy Burns (2024), Terry Morgan (2023) and Chris Norton (2022). …

The final round of Ruthie’s Cup arrived and there were five anglers still in with a shout of winning, Roy and Nick were both on 11 points with Burnsey, Craig L and Harry all just a point behind. The draw would be crucial and the stand out pegs in each section so far had been 14 at Thorney and 3, 4 and …
Hebditch’s Pond – Ruthie’s Cup – 23rd June 2024
For the penultimate round of Ruthie’s Cup we were back at Hebditch’s Pond, we met at The Ranch for breakfast which was lovely although somebody rushed off without paying, not mentioning any names but the rumour was he couldn’t wait to get to Thorney for Nudefest! With several anglers on 7 points, I was in the chasing pack on 6 but would …
