River Parrett – Langport League – 29th July 2007
After even more rain (will it ever end?), this was another match I wasn’t looking forward to. I did the draw and yet again avoided any end pegs. In three matches I’ve managed one end peg for the team – not a good ratio. My destination for today was peg C2 at Cocklemoor, I got there and the river was chocolate and …

The river looked in good …

After loads of rain for what seemed like weeks I was sure this one was going to be called off. To my suprise the river actually looked in pretty good …
