Second came from the Oak, where dave Matson (Rod & Gun) used corn and maggot, close in at peg 24 for 65-4-0. Andy Amos started his week with a third place by scaling 55-13-0 at peg 50 on the Sycamore, and back on the Oak, Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent) was a close 4th when he put 55-4-0 on the scales at peg 3.
Hawthorn peg 3 gave the first of two winning catches for the week on Wednesday, when Stuart Aston (Swan JT) offered pellet and paste at 8 metres for 64-13-0, made up with carp to 7lbs.
In the corner at peg 1 Mick Keene (MS Total Angling) worked with similar tactics to the winner to finish second on 60-11-0, with carp to 5lbs making up his catch.
Alan Weston (Chuckery) had the best catch from the Middle Pool, 51-9-0 form corner peg 11, to take third, and in 4th was Ralph Johnson (Bilston Ang Cent) on 50-7-0 at hawthorn 15.

He found carp to 8lbs and bream to 3lbs using pellet, fished shallow in open water, alternated with close in tactics.

Andy Amos completed his full set with a second placed 73-9-0, which was a beech best, and fell to pellet at 12 metres on peg 3. Andy Bayliss-Kyte (Maver) was best man on the Ash, and third overall with 66-11-0 from peg 18, and Mick Jameson was in the frame again when he scaled 66-1-0 at beech 7.
Peg 16 on the Oak proved best for Gary Morris (OB Wolves) on Sunday when carp to 7lbs moved in on his close fished corn and pellet to give a return of 75-8-0.
Gareth Emlyn (Oakengates Ang Cent) used maggot in the side at peg 28 on the Sycamore to tempt carp to 8lbs, but needed one more to win when the scales stopped at 68-5-0, leaving him to collect second.
