Top rod in round three was Dave Tebbitt with 18lb 5oz of roach from one of the fancied pegs on the March Twenty Foot - and that on a bitterly cold and windy day was a very respectable result.

Local rod Graham Welton, fishing a few pegs away from the winner, was second with 18lb 2oz and England star Sean Ashby was third with 16lb 13oz from the Benwick village section.
