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 – 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 …

Thorney Lakes – Ruthie’s Cup – 19th May 2024
Last year we fished Ruthie’s Cup in memory of Chris’s daughter for the second time and we raised a tidy sum of money along the way. It was held on Wednesdays and a few people struggled to fish all four rounds so this year it would be held on Sundays so hopefully everyone could make it. In another change, along with twelve …

For the penultimate round (the last one for me as I can’t make the final match on 21st June, stand ins are allowed so if anyone would like to fish, please get in touch) of Ruthie’s Cup, we had six fishing (well five and half as Norts was going to be a bit late). The Fabulous Five met for breakfast and with …
Hebditch’s Pond – Ruthie’s Cup – 24th May 2023
For round two of Ruthie’s Cup, we had a severely depleted turnout due to people having other commitments but the decision was made to go ahead as people had booked days off work and also a lack of other suitable dates. We met at the bowling club and had a lovely breakfast (thanks Drew). After a random open draw for the first …

Fished for the first time last year, Ruthie’s Cup is a series of matches in memory of The Grand Wiz’s daughter who was cruelly taken far too early by cancer. With a trophy very kindly donated by Steve Chant, it was keenly contested with Chris Norton crowned …
