2021 Series Table, Result Match 2
|
Round 2 of the CCFR fishing series was fished on Magpie Lake at Rookery Waters Pidley and what a difference it was to the first match that was fished in snow, This time we had the hottest day of the year so far to contend with plus the fish decided to start spawning . Huge numbers of carp were crashing around in the margins having very little interest in feeding which kept the weights lower than other years.
Winners on the day were Liam Darler A section with 128lb 14oz and Paul Dean B section55lb 8oz a repeat of match 1. Dave Keedy picked up his second runner up spot in A section to keep the pressure on the front runners weighing in 65lb 8oz whilst Barry Goodrum put in a good performance to finish second in B section with 54lb 4oz. Special thanks to Stuart Sellars of SSElectrical Ltd for sponsoring this event. |

The next round will be fished on the 100ft river at Mepal on the 7th July draw at 8.45am.
2021 Series Table, Result Match 1
|
The first match of the 2021 CCFR fishing series was fished at Little Walden on a day when the conditions could not have been more challenging.
Strong winds, pooring rain, snow, and very cold at times the fish were very slow to put in an appearance with several anglers having to weight 2-3 hours for the their first bite. Photo right - Paul Dean was the winner of A section with 47lb pound which was a very good weight for that section Photo below - Winner of B section was Liam Darler who also went without a bite for the first three hours of the match but then went on to catch 85lb in the final two and a half hours of the match.

The Cambridge Charity Fund Raisers 2020 Trophy presentation match
The Cambridge Charity Fund Raisers 2020 Trophy presentation match was finally fished 5 months later than originally scheduled due to covid.
See the winners below
The 2020 series champion was Liam Darler (above)
Second place in the series was Ian Darler but he was too shy to have a photo taken? Or was it that nobody would take a photo of him with his trophy?
The 2020 season was very challenging for everybody and we would like to thank Rookery Waters for their support with sponsorship and all the other sponsors that contributed.
Our charity for 2020 was the Malcolm Whales Foundation and this will continue in 2021 as CCFR were unable to run any of their events due to covid. The money raised from the 2020 fishing series will be donated to tmwf later in the year when the match in June is fished at Rookery Waters.
Thanks also to all the anglers for cooperating in full with the procedures in place to enable us to fish these events.
Finally thanks to Coopers Trophies for sponsoring the trophies in 2020
The 2021 series starts on Wednesday 5th May at Little Walden draw at 8.30am
Stay safe & well everybody

ANOTHER FISHING CHAMPIONSHIP COMES TO AN END
I would like take this opportunity to thank all the anglers and sponsors who fished and sponsored the CCFR matches during 2020
As we all know things have been very different this year and we had to make a number of changes to our events and I thank all the anglers for being so compliant with the conditions we had to put in place and work with when dealing with Covid 19.
The 6th round of the CCFR fishing series was fished on Raven Lake at Rookery Waters Pidley and the results showed it was one of the tightest series results in our 14 year history with Liam Darler and Ian Darler both securing top spot with 28 points apiece over the series championship so it went down to the total weight of fish caught and Liam came out as champion with a total weight of 765lb 12oz with Ian weighing in 366lb 10oz and being pushed in to second place.
We then had Tim Cooper and Barry Goodrum both having 22 points battling it out for the overall third place and again it went down to who had caught the most weight throughout the series and that was Tim with a total weight of 514lb 12oz against Barry’s weight of 320lb so Barry finished fourth over-all.
This year we introduced a new trophy The Mick Rivers Memorial shield
Mick Rivers was one of the original anglers to fish in the CCFR charity competitions fourteen years ago and was always very generous with his donations from Royston angling club we were all very sad when Mick passed away and we wanted to name an award in his recognition for what he did for Cambridge Charity Fund Raisers
The winner of the Mick Rivers Memorial Shield in 2020 is Alan Giddens who is another of the anglers who started fishing the CCFR charity matches fourteen years ago. So congratulations Alan.
I must thank James and Clair German along with Alex Bates at Rookery Waters for all their help and support again this year we are very grateful to you during what has been a very challenging time for everybody.
We were hoping to raise a sum of money for The Malcolm Whales Foundation but unfortunately our sporting dinner had to be cancelled due to the Covid situation we have therefore made the decision to continue to raise funds for tmwf during 2021. We will however make a donation to tmwf with money raised from the fishing series when we hold our presentation fishing match
sometime in 2021 once a date has been confirmed as we have had to cancel the scheduled date of 2nd December 2020 due to the lock-down .
I will end by thanking Dave Matthew-Jones for managing our web-site and doing such a good job.
Thanks everybody.

Sad News - The loss of a great friend
|
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of our very good friend Mick Rivers.
He was a wonderful man and he was a great friend as well. I will never forget all that he did for me in helping with Cambridge Charity Fund Raisers Mick was one of the first anglers to join CCFR and was always keen to make a donation through his beloved Royston Angling club. I never heard an ill word spoken of him. He was kind, compassionate, and a true gentleman. Sadly there are few people like that in the world today. We will all miss his sense of humour and words that would echo around the lake. |
|
HELLO MY BOY. THEY WILL NEVER SELL ICE CREAMS DRIVING AT THAT SPEED as an ambulance could be heard in the distance with its sirens blasting out. AND WHO COULD FORGET THE MICK RIVERS DUCK WARBLER TO START AND END ALL OUR MATCHES
I could never repay all that he did for me and CCFR, but I would at least like to do what little I can and in doing so, honour his memory with the introduction of a new award during our fishing series.
We all extend our sympathy to Mick’s sons Shaun and Simon along with the family and let them know how much we share their pain at this sad time.
In Friendship & Sorrow,
Ian Darler and everybody at Cambridge Charity Fund Raisers

Important update 2020 Fishing Series.
It is with regret that we have had postpone our first charity fishing match on the 6th May 2020 on Magpie Lake at Rookery waters Pidley due to the current situation with coronavirus we will try to reschedule the match once things improve. We hope to be able to continue in June with the other six scheduled dates but will await an update on the virus situation in May. All anglers signed up to fish will get a further update in May. I hope you all stay healthy and safe during this challenging time Regards Ian Darler |

The CCFR 2018 fishing series has just one match remaining and yet again the points table tells a story with the leaders Ian Claydon & Dave Keedy on 26 points being closely chased by Dudley Seal and Gary Chandler on 24
points this means that there will be a new name on the championship trophy this year. Good luck to you all on the final match. |
