With plenty of room for all the odd numbers were used, on the day it fished very patchy with very few silver fish being caught, and a strong wind made presentation difficult. On the day Martin Lacey produced a sparkling performance fishing in the margin with pellet to put 157lb on the scales, in a distant second was Neil Culham who fished on the deck for a 116lb. In 3rd place was Mike Fletcher who came back from 2 bad results to record his highest ever match weight of 102lb well done to Mike.

This was Midlands last match of the season thanks to everyone who helped during a difficult season, stay safe and stay well. Under decent conditions the match was a close run thing, coming out on top was canal expert Simon Harper off fancied peg 198 putting 8 lb 8oz on the scales, in second place off end peg 208 was John Simpson with 8lb 3oz.
Despite good conditions fish were hard to find, after a fishless first hour Martin Lacey changed to pole and started to catch roach and bream, netting two bonus carp at the end for 53lb, on the opposite bank Gary Smith had a carp first put in but then switched to pole finishing with 30lb.
Clive Williams was a runaway winner from favored peg 196 finishing with 18lbs of roach and skimmers, John Rick was second with 8lbs 7oz followed by Chris Shaw with 6lb 12oz, the canal continued to show good form from a selection of different pegs.
Pegs 23 and 21 held the fish making the most of the draw was Pete Tomlinson who put 86lb on the scales John Rick on peg 21 finished with 79lb.
This was our first visit to the water, which was a little late in the year, however Neil Culham made the most of the peg to win with 73lb in second place was Pete Tomlinson with 49lb. 2oz
