All looked well for another battle of the roach versus the carp heads but after an hour the roach were not playing and it was left to those who had a few carp in front of them to run away with it.
We tried a new peg in the bottom corner and it turned out to be good for Dougie Walsh who as always at Conway on the Winter Leagues starts well. He ran away with the match with a well deserved 49.2lb mainly carp net. Barry Davis our recedent guest at the moment seems to have got to grips with Conway and managed a similar net for second with 43.8lb again from dont the bottom end.
Jeff Grantham took third with 35.4lb from the last peg on the left hand side again mainly carp and the final framer was Billy Gore drawn in the middle of the far end and weighed 31.5lb
Story of the match was Steve Brew deciding to fish Ian S's peg at 17.5m.....they managed 38lb between them sharing a few carp and skimmers but even partners shouldn't have been that close....at times there was 6ft between pole tips............Steve also took the pee fishing 10mm JPZ's and 3x 6mm JPZ's and was still catching carp and F1's whilst Ian had to go down to maggot and 4mm pellet over micros less than 3 yards away!!
Roll on the first frosts for WL3 then its off to Saughall and Blundell for 4 matches before we are back at Conway to round off the series.

1st - Dougie Walsh - 49.2lb
