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.
The league has had a shake up although the top 3 remain the same.
