Sunday 11 August saw 29 matchmen turn out for our 5th Summer League match. The river was low again after very little rain, but was carrying a little more colour than of late. The blustery wind made for tricky conditions on the lower pegs, which are more exposed, especially for float anglers. The eventual winner was Brian Tinman, who didn't mind the long walk to peg M, as he managed to weigh in 38 Lbs 2 Ozs of barbel caught on pellet and feeder. Second, from peg 102 was Will Carr, who really should have won it, as he lost four barbel, but the six he weighed in tipped the scales at 27 Lbs. In third place from peg 13 was Clive Biddulph with an all barbel weight again of 19 Lbs 3 Ozs. Fourth from peg 5 was Ken Arnold with 15 Lbs 10 Ozs. With Colin Morris, Reg Ford and Nick Bastock failing to score, it meant that Graham Jones has sneaked into a 3 point lead of the league at the half way point with 23 points. Colin is second on 20 and Reg and Nick equal third on 19. Nobody is stretching away with the league at present, so there's everything to fish for. For the full result, click on the link.
