Manager Steve Barnett is pleased to announce two new signings to his talented Drennan Bordon team in the shape of Andy Quarmby and Justin Mabere.

On the two new recruits, Steve commented: “Both will be excellent additions and will add even more depth to the squad, bringing with them a wealth of experience and knowledge. Andy is a brilliant all rounder though has a preference for commercials, while Justin is a dab hand on natural venues. Both will no doubt be a credit to the team!”

Funniest moment: Hooking a fish caught by Bob Nudd and landing it! All I could hear was Bob telling the guy next to him that he had a proper fish on. It was only a 3lb carp! Bob noticed that I had landed his fish and I sportingly untangled my hooklength and let him reel it in. That fish won him the match so I can’t believe he never bought me a pint!
