Joe Carass has been back to do battle in the Tunnel Barn Farm Winter League with a hint of success too! The Tunnel Barn Farm winter league is now fast approaching its climax and with four rounds to go it was all to play for. In the last round we managed to whittle away at Barston’s lead and had reduced it to just five points. We were all looking forward to round seven but sadly the arctic conditions put paid to that and the match was cancelled. Nevertheless the following week the snow had melted and it was game on!

Anglers secure agreement for safe relocation of 'Keith' the Severn Seal The Angling Trust has announced that it will not be pursuing an application to Natural England for a licence to shoot the Severn seal, following the conclusion of an agreement with the British Divers Marine Life Rescue service which will see both organisations working together to relocate the mammal back to the sea, protecting vulnerable freshwater fish stocks. A press release from the Angling Trust explained: "The longer the seal remains away from its natural habitat, the greater the risk of it coming to harm from eating food thrown to it by the public or being injured by lock gates or boat propellers. Recent drops in river levels have improved the prospects of the animal either being rescued, or heading out to sea. The Angling Trust said that it felt that it had little choice but to consider reluctantly securing a licence in response to requests by local clubs and anglers and after the Environment Agency and Natural England failed to take any action whatsoever to manage the situation, despite ongoing and severe damage to the rivers stocks by the marine mammal.
