8th Mike Snudden 17lb 1oz

20 club members fished

The September competition traditionally produces some big catches , but the torrential rain and accompanying thunderstorm, for the first couple of hours seemed to have dampened their appetites..

Match organiser Martin had a very slow start on “golden peg” 6 , but eventually did just enough to scoop victory, with mainly carp in the margins and various baits over hemp and micro pellets.

Les on peg 8 fished similarly for the second spot.

Keith had some late bonus carp on peg 21 to take third spot.

A close match , with a couple of good fish for any of the top ten making a big difference.
