today was the members 175g event and the start of the club
league, we had 3 members casting today as work and family
commitments kept the rest away. The weather was beautiful, sun
shone all day with little to no wind but that didn't hamper our
daycaster Stephen from hitting a few fine casts, well done lad,
one to watch as he will become a member soon. As for the rest of
us we struggled, more practice needed but it kept the
competition close with some great craic. The next meet will be
the TRC competition which is open to all and that's in two weeks
time.

Today was our annual memorial to Terry Carroll of Zziplex fame,
the TRC is where we cast all 4 core leads but one lead must be
an off the ground cast. This year the TRC fell on St Patricks
day, so with festivals planned all round the country the turnout
was low as most members had family plans. So only 3 members
turned up to do battle so the 16 casts went very fast. The
weather forecasted a 6mph South wind, we got a gentle breeze
with the odd 7mph gust but for most of the day it was still,
added the high pressure the casting was tough but Stevie managed
to get some fine casts made to win the event. As there was only
3 casters we finished earlier than expected which was a good
thing as we packed away the rain came. We all opted to cast the
175g off the ground and the lack of practice with his technique
showed for 2 of us, I was lucky to get a cast in court. First
place was assured for Stevie as long as he didn't mess up the
100g which he didn't, unfortunately. It left Louis and myself
battling for second but he had a nightmare with the wee 100g so
I managed to get a good cast away and took second place. It was
a fun day with some craic even if the turnout was small. The
next event is due in 2 weeks time but we wont be casting as its
Easter Sunday, so see you all in 4 weeks time.

Today was a normal field day in which your free to cast any lead
from 200g down to 18g plug, but all of us kept within the 4 core
leads. Now for the weather report, with high pressure of 1007mb
and a cross court wind forecast we choose to set up in the upper
field, this meant a sloping oche but casting downhill, the wind
was to be west south west at 20mph gusting to 27mph, we didn't
get it that strong but it did blow south west which meant it was
down court most of the day. As the day went on the wind did
start to veer more cross court and got stronger but rain was
forecast too. So after a fun day of casting we called it quits
early and as we packed the gear away it rained heavily and it
still hasn't stopped. As for the casters there was 4 members
today so the rounds came fast so we did loads of walking. Tommy
struggled at the start of the day then changed reels and jumped
20 plus yards, told you that reel was holding back. We tried to
use the wind to our advantage and Louis did just that with two
pb's and he came close to a pb on his 3rd lead. Graeme was
trying to do all 4 leads but couldn't keep the wee 100g intact,
better luck next time mate. As for me I was trying out something
new, well trying to get my arms higher and it resulting in me
blowing up 4 reels from hitting the deck, good job i had back
ups.

Today was a normal field day, in which your free to cast any
lead and with the high pressure and little breeze it was a heavy
lead day. With a North East forecasted we got into one of the
lower fields, a slight incline from the oche but not too much,
in fact it was almost flat. We did our best in the conditions
even when the wind died off, it did come back but blew in our
faces so we decided to call it quits as it was like beating a
dead horse, pointless. There was a bit of craic at the start of
the day when Stevie cast 200g on a old Mitchell 602a (I think)
boy can it scream, I think there is a video of it.

There are no official results for today session as only 3
members where able to attend. When we got to the field the grass
has grown making swinging the lead difficult so techniques had
to be tweaked. The forecast for a south east wind of 17mph we
got no wind then east breeze then it blew into our faces. So
reels where set up and casts modified to deal with the difficult
conditions. With only 3 casting the round came very fast so
there wasn't much rest from walking uphill in the long grass, it
was calf deep in places. So casting uphill with a wind in our
faces it was decided to call it quits before the forecasted rain
arrived, all the casts where in the 190y to 200y area.
Unfortunately now I have to inform you that casting will be
suspended until the grass is cut as it will be too long in two
weeks time, once its cut I will let you know.

Today was the first day casting snice the 12th of may and boy
did the rust show. Lots of casts going out of court but by the
end of the day everyone found the court, quite a few reels have
to be fixed after been blown up, isn't that right Louis. Now for
the weather, it started off dry and with a northwest breeze
forecasted we set up in the lower flatter field casting away
from the farm building, the breeze quickly changed direction
then died off completely we also had a few rain showers with
members being caught out and got soaked to the bone, poor
Graeme. Anyway the rods where dusted off and slow reels put on
to suit the conditions, while pleasant didn't help much on the
casting. We had a new face today as Bobby Laughlin joined us for
a few pointers, hope we helped mate and come back anytime. Bobby
did make the mistake of pulling his best cast before we could
measure it but it was around 125yards. Seeing as today was
designated as 150g practice day for our upcoming members event,
which is in two weeks, most of us got a few casts on that lead
before moving to lighter stuff. well done to Stevie who did
really well on he 175g in bad conditions and judging by todays
results the 150g competition could see a close battle for second
place, unless Graeme's new style come together(south American
high reel)

today was round two of the members league which means it was
150g day. With a southwest breeze forecast we set up in the top
field which meant casting on a slope added to the fact the grass
had grown again, this meant casts had to altered to clear the
grass meaning a higher backswing. The rain held off for once and
as for the breeze it kept fading every time someone went to
cast, it seemed as if we weren't meant to cast. Despite the
conditions being against us once again we made the best of it
and two members managed to get a pb, while others caught the
grass hurting ourselves in the process. Well done to Stevie on
the win even with Graeme hot on his heels.
results for 21/7/2024 150g day
Stevie = 239y
Graeme = 230y pb
MC = 224y
Louis = 210y pb
Tommy = 196y

with the normal field being used to grow silage we are at the
mercy of the wind as the other fields can only be used in a
northly wind. So todays wind was a south west going to west
later which meant we had to use the lower fields and lave the
leads at home, that's right folks we where chucking plastic
plugs. It took a few casts to get the timing right as its been a
long while since we last casted the 18g plug and with only 3
members today the rounds were quick as we didn't have to walk
too far. Two of us managed pb's so well done all. Thanks for the
help setting up and taking down of the court lads.
results for 18/8/2024
all 18g plug
Graeme = 109y PB
Louis = 108y

with the grass cut but not lifted we were restricted to the
middle field and with the forecasted wind direction going
towards the farmhouse it meant we could cast leads, so another
plug day was had. The weather wasn't the greatest with a light
breeze and a light rain but that didn't stop us. anyhow the
court was set up for plug and it wasn't long before we were
casting. There was 4 members today so the rounds came quickly
and it was long until lunch time, we casted on for another hour
of so but heavy rain due we packed up early and went home.
Thanks to all who help set up and take down the court.
results all 18g plug
Louis = 93y
Tommy = 91y
MC = 94y

today we managed to get back into our usual field and with a
forecasted wind of a southwest direction we set up the oche for
casting down the hill. The weather forecast was wrong instead of
dry and bright we got a heavy shower early on and the wind was
due west so across the court all day, the wind died off from
time to time and even blew into our faces. Despite the forecast
being wrong we made the best of it and had a great day casting
and of course the craic was flying. It was good to see Benny
back up at the field and almost fully recovered from his
injuries. Thanks to all who helped with the court.
PS its 125g day in two weeks.
results for 15/9/2024
Tommy 18g plug = 93y
125g = 191y
