One or two decided to return home for a nice cup of tea and a cooked breakfast and perhaps that was a wise decision.

Of those that remained John Locke strolled to victory with 14lb 7oz, catching rudd on the waggler from peg two. Keith Rayment came in second with 5lb 14oz, followed by Ken Taylor on 5lb 9oz.

Despite the conditions it fished a lot better for the Ramsey lads on Sunday as matchwinner Mark Williams put a very impressive 22lb 14oz to the scales from peg one catching quality rudd with maggot on the waggler. Joint second with 9lb 10oz were Liam Harlock and Malcolm Plant, then came Stu Cheetham with 9lb 6oz.
