A close run thing at the top after a peg to peg battle with Barry Davis and Steve Brew both pegged on the left handside of the second island. Barry took an early lead with some nice carp but then had a barren mid match spell when Steve caught well to the island and in open water with an odd better carp but plenty of smaller samples only for Barry to finish strongly and snatch the victory with his last fish.
Steve Gilmore was pegged on the same island but top right and was catching well to both the island for silvers and into open water for carp until his 14m section slipped quietly and serenely into the lakes depths whilst he was netting a fish......much banter ensued about getting in after it but Steve quietly re-fed shorter and lured the fish closer to finish with a very credible 3rd place just short of 30lb. (Well done also to Billy who went in the baltic lake upto his chest to try to get Steve's section back after the match but unfortunately to no avail).
After being the early league leader I managed to scrape two carp from open water and and few chub and roach from right of the first island and ended up adding a few skimmers for 24.9lb to keep ahead in the league with 3 matches fished. Best 5 counts so its wide open and anyone can still win the league.
Result
1st - Barry Davis - 45.1lb
2nd - Steve Brew - 43.9lb
3rd - Steve Gilmore - 29.1lb
4th - Ian Simpson - 24.9lb
