What can I say. The virtual match was brilliant and could only have been bettered by actually being on the bank fishing. The banter was great fun and we can definitely say it was a success and probably the only virtual fishing match taking place. Thanks to everyone who took part. Hopefully people will read the Virtual season page and decide to join in next match 29th April.
