Saturday 16th Oct Open Match
It was almost a winters day on Saturday morning, it was cold grey skies and a blustery north east to greet the 12 anglers who turned up to fish the match.

After the usual coffee tea and doughnuts the draw was made and the match got under-way, it was soon realized that it was going to be hard work with very little activity early on, during the course of the match the wind picked up and unforcasted heavy cold rain made things even more difficult,
The match itself turned to be very tight with the top six anglers with 1fish good making the difference between 1st and 6th.
The results were,
1st peg 7 Dave Whiteman 74lb-0ozs
2nd peg 14 Dave Stratful-way 62lb 12ozs
3rd peg 26 Mick Chapple 60lb-4ozs
4th peg 16 Simon Mound 59lb-4ozs
5th peg 4 Chris Lovelock 56lb -4ozs
6th peg 28 Adam Griffiths 53lb-4ozs
