Golding claims victory at Kingston Seymour
Victory went to Colin Golding, who poled soft pellet at 10 metres off peg 14 and notched up his second win of the four-match series with 60-14-0 of carp to almost 4-0-0.
He said: "I fed a few samples of 6mm soft pellet over the top of my float at the start and, by feeding a few pellets, little and often, I managed to keep catching for the whole six-hour match."
Second place went to Bob 'The Bread' Price, who poled paste over a 4mm pellet feed at seven metres off peg 15 and netted 46-8-0 of mostly carp.
He said: "I caught as many fish as Colin and some were bigger. Unfortunately, I never caught enough of the bigger ones to make a winning difference."
Martin Alexander worked hard at end peg 17 to coax 37-8-0 of mostly carp to his net. He poled soft 6mm pellet into every possible fish-holding nook and cranny within range but, unfortunately, the result did not justify the means.
Top of the silverfish category was Bill Ferris, who poled caster and maggot at six metres centre off peg one and weighed in 12-0-0 of skimmers and perch, plus three carp worth an additional 10-14-0.
