This match usually produces a few less anglers, as it is restricted to float only, but there were still 18 of us that contested it. After a really long dry spell, the river was in dire need of some fresh water. The weather was, at least, overcast for most of the 5 hours, which helped a little. Surprise winner from peg 8 was Paul Harrison with a bag of small chub and a bonus 4 Lbs 8 Ozs pike for a total of 16 Lbs 2 Ozs. Second, from peg 88, was Colin Morris with small chub and bits for 10 Lbs 2 Ozs and third was Graham Jones from peg 80 with a similar bag for 9 Lbs 6 Ozs. League positions after 3 matches are: 1st - Ken Arnold with 23 points, 2nd Dave Leary with 19 and Graham Jones with 17.
