A few new faces joined regulars on the second Deeping St James club day on the River Welland match stretch on Roadside in Deeping St James.

With the river lower than normal and the colour dropping out it soon became apparent that the low numbers were the pegs to be on.

Winning his first club match and also collecting the club cup was Nigel Collis from peg four. He fished a superb match, catching well over 100 small roach for 5lb 11oz on the pole using pinkie and bread punch hook baits.

Second was Ray Torrington on peg 26 with 1lb 15oz of small roach and chublets then came Ron Needham on peg 10 with four perch for 1lb 12oz.
