Report: Once again the match was a “sell-out”, and there were 18 trusty souls spaced out around Lake Two in anticipation of a decent day’s sport, with the payout as normal, to the overall winner and then defaulting to the top two anglers on each side of the lake.

To say it was not the best of weather would be an understatement, as we experienced something of everything, from bright sunshine and light wind to strong gusts, thunder and either heavy rain or hailstones, the latter falling so hard at one time that the surface of the lake turned white with floating pea-sized balls of ice. Despite this, there were decent catches made all around the lake, with two weights over a hundred pounds and with over fifty pounds required to get in the top nine.

Chris Kimberley on peg A8 had some fortune when the angler on A6 unfortunately had to leave due to a family emergency just after the start. This enabled him to draw fish from the area into his margins, and fishing meat on the pole, he caught some decent carp for 130-05 for the overall win.

On the opposite bank, on B17, Tony Lamb was into fish from the start, fishing his method feeder towards the big island, and he caught fish regularly all day to amass a weight of 122-14, one fish short of winning. Settling for second place overall, Tony topped the B bank pool, well clear of Gaz Kitch (peg B21) in third place overall with 88-12, who took second place on the “B” bank, also on the method.

Andy Findlay (B3) was fourth overall with 86-14, followed by Lee Clark, 74-13 from peg B19, and John Brandrick (B15) with 68-14.

Pete Stockwin (peg A10), returning after a three-week break, was straight into the money with his 68-03 for seventh place overall, which won, by default, the “A” bank pool, with Alan Robertshaw (A12 and in ninth overall) taking second on the “A” bank with his pole/meat margin caught weight of 56-04.

Many thanks to Andy Findlay for his scale work at the weigh-in. The photos show the successful anglers on the day.
