Well it was a bad start to the day as we arrived to find the match wasn't on the board and with day ticketers all over the pool we made a couple of phone calls to find the owner was on holiday and the bloke in charge forgot to put it up

.
We put pegs in where we could and it was a tight with me and JD only a couple of meters apart

I drew our peg 8 perminant 13 I think. I planned to fish shallow but the wind got up and after 2 hours had a couple of carp on the deck and down the edge for 3lb

I was last so I decided to go shallow and had 3 more fish in the next hour and with two hours left I tried a bannded 4mm pellet and it was 1 every put in I then started bagging and every one then found out what I was doing

and they all started to catch.
I caught quick untill the finish and had 38lb of the small carp and it was a shame they were so small at the weigh in we knew it was close and with tommo trying to talk me out of it through the match 'your at least 10lb in front of me' I knew it was close and he weighed in 40lb

hes done me again
1st Tommo 40lb 6oz
2nd JJ Gallagher 38lb 2oz
3rd Woody 22lb 4oz
4th Mikey 21lb 7 oz
A very good venue considering almost every peg was took again. I'm looking foeward to going back next year
