Trinity, Woodlands Lake, 15 August (13 pegs)

Trinity venue expert Darren North made it his second win on the trot on the in-form Woodlands Lake.  In fact, Darren was so confident of a win that he even put three nets in before the match had even started!
Fishing from peg 16 Darren alternated between fishing 6mm pellet shallow at 11m out into open water in front of him and the same bait down his left hand margin taking fish steadily through the match and despite a relatively quiet last hour managed to weigh in a total of 104lbs 14oz which included 17lbs of silvers.
It was by no means an easy victory though as it turned out to be the closest frame of the season so far with only 2lbs separating the top 3 positions!

Right up Darren's arse (figuratively speaking)
and cementing his place at the top of the league leaderboard was Chris always in the frame Szakacs with 103lbs 8oz.
Fishing from corner peg 18, Chris fished paste to an overhanging bush and down his right hand margin.
Unfortunately, Chris was plagued by a frustrating succession of foul-hookers, any of which could have easily won him the match and was probably a result of fishing the last two hours of the match with his hat off!
Meanwhile Alan Healy, in bottom corner peg 5, despite moaning about his crap peg at the start, fished similar methods to Chris and somehow managed to weigh in 102-11 from a peg with "no water in it".
Funnily enough, Alan wasn't moaning at the end of the match when he was collecting his pound coins.
In fourth place, and another corner peg (22) was Mark Radford who after a completely crap year is finally returning to form and finding some decent draws (thanks to his boy Ryan who draws for him). Mark fished similar methods to Chris and Alan for 90-3.
Top silvers not surprisingly went to "silvers maestro" Bob Warren with 18-15 from peg 8.
