On Sunday Tony Woolaston [Fatty's] fished pellet and corn at 8 metres and along the side from corner peg 32 on the Oak Pool to finish in the number one spot. Carp to 6lbs and bream to 2lbs added up to 112-1-0 to hand the victory to Tony.
Larch peg 1 filled second again when Bob Baker [PI Bold] swapped between shallow pellet and corn down the side to net a level 96-0-0 of carp to 8lbs and bream to 2lbs. Dave Brown tagged a third place onto his first by weighing 92-4-0 at point peg 29 on the Oak, while a Hawthorn top score of 89-8-0 gave Dave Lloyd [Maver] a close third.
