After the recent flood water had receded, expectations were high as the river was running nicely with a little colour and looked good to repeat the weights from the last match held here. Unfortunatelt it wasn’t to be and surprisingly, the swims that produced the bigger weights last time around, stayed empty all day except for the one Steve Edwards fished last time as he chose to fish it again and it paid off for him as he recorded a match winning total of 10lb 2oz and ten points towards the Cup. Second spot went to in form Colin Fowler with 7lb 13oz and third spot went to another consistent angler, Tony Hyland with 7lb 12oz.
There were two fish of the day prizes, Roach and Perch but both had to be over the 1lb mark. Peter Hole took the Roach prize with a very nice 1lb 10oz specimen which will also go in for the annual specimen cup. No Perch over 1lb were recorded.
