On a dry, but breezy, day 8 pairs of anglers contested this last match of the 10 match Summer League for 2018. This was a replacement match for the Wines & Spirits match we have usually fished for this leg of the league and was a reslut of most anglers wanting a chance to win some pools money instead of a bottle or two. It also meant that some of those anglers who don't often frame having a share of the spoils. The river had dropped from its spate earlier in the week, but much of the colour had dropped out of it, due to some low overnight temperatures. Individual winner from peg 103 was our Match Secretary Will Carr with a couple of chub and a good barbel for exactly 16 Lbs. Second was yours truly from the next peg 102 with 13 Lbs 6 Ozs of dace taken on the whip and maggot. Third from peg 95 was Ant James with 12 Lbs 8 Ozs that consisted of a barbel, a chub a perch and some dace taken on a variety of baits. However, the pairs result was more interesting. Here is the complete list:
1st Will Carr & Ant James 28 Lbs 8 Ozs
2nd Bernie Jones & Pat Nolan 13 Lbs 6 Ozs
3rd Clive Biddulph & Gordon Bradley 11 Lbs 8 Ozs
4th Nick Bastock & Kevin Nicholls 10 Lbs 8 Ozs
5th Colin Morris & Dennis Carr 5 Lbs 12 Ozs
6th Ray Armstrong & Arthur Foyle 3 Lbs 8 Ozs
7th Brian Tinman & Gary Stinton DNW

Of course, the overall league had already been won by Paul Harrison (so he didn't bother to fish this match) with 75 points. Second was Graham Jones with 69 and third was Clive Biddulph with 56.
