After a slow start for everyone the fish eventually switched on around the lake with about 2 hours to go. From here on in it was a sprint to the final 'air horn' as 9 anglers returned weights greater than 133lb. Gary Kelsey on Peg 4 fished the match of his life and recorded his first Ton plus weight - Trust me Gary, if you continue fishing Rolfs you'll soon bank your first Double Ton too!

Phil Powell kept up his top form with a runners up spot at Peg 32 with 227lb and finished narrowly ahead of Ginger on 37 with 201lb - both fished shallow with sprayed pellet, although Ginger switched to fishing in front of 38 for most of his fish later in the match.

PICTURE REVIEW

Ian McCulloch
Peg 10

Stock photo of Ian on Peg 10 - Rolf's had a nightmare with his camera and may have lost all his pictures from the last few matches. So I've used a few stock photos as padding...

Sorry. Normal service will resume when Rolf sorts out his camera.
