		Without doubt this was going to be a hard contest, as the Wantsum does not like too many anglers lined up along its banks and with an easterly wind greeting us it turned out to be just as hard as we thought.
		With very little knowledge of the river the only point I could stress to the team was too catch at least one fish as many blanks would be on the cards and with points up for grabs one fish could be worth quite a lot.
		As the match progressed I phoned the team on my mobile for updates on how they were doing and I must admit it was looking a bit grim at the halfway point.
