Back to back wins for Brian Woods - off the same peg too. In baking hot conditions with a blustery southerly wind, he took the match with 14lb 6oz from Peg 9, just at the start of the wides. Having emerged from a day-long sulk after a shocker yesterday, I got my act together and came second off peg 6. Included in my net was a clonking Bream, over 5lb - caught on chopped worm. A couple of nice hybrids around a pound with a few caster Roach had me up to 8lb 6oz. Third was Alan Birchall from peg 8 with a nice net of silvers caught on the long pole for 6lb 2oz.
I've still not totally evaded the dreaded Peg 3 - while I was conducting the draw at the start of the proceedings, I asked Cleggy if he'd draw for me & I'd return the favour. In went Cleggy's right hand and out came No. 6. In return, in went my hand and out came (you guessed it) No 3.
The run has to end sometime...
