Matchwinner off peg 16 was Ray Torrington, who fished a long pole line with maggot and pinkie over groundbait to take roach, dace and skimmers for the first three hours. Then the wind picked up so he moved close in on the whip with bread punch over liquidised bread to add more roach to finish with 8lb 1oz.

Second place and leading the series was Graham Wright on peg 15. He also fished the pole on maggot to catch a similar mix of fish for 7lb 4oz.
