Round 7 of the Leighton Summer League; with temperatures a little bit cooler, longer hours of darkness and the beginning of autumn, the fishing was expected be decent, but with a crystal-clear river, an absence of chub and just a very odd bream caught, it was only the noted barbel pegs that produced the top weights in 'the big one' (double pools money) event.

Mick Woolvine made no mistake from peg 102, fishing ledgered meat and feeding heavily with hemp and caster, he caught five barbel for a match winning 33lb 2oz.

Just above on peg 97, John Marshall landed seven barbel for 28lb, fishing feeder with hemp and caster to take second place. Peg, 88 was drawn by Simon Tuff who netted a level 24lb of small barbel, again on feeder with hemp and caster, for third spot. The peg above, 87, not really a fancied peg, but ever consistent Graham Jones found 23lb 12oz, including a last gasp 9lb barbel to go with another smaller barbel, both taken on ledgered meat and some stick float caught dace to settle fourth spot and the last of the pools money.
