Westerleigh, Top Lake, 26 March (12 pegs)


Despite the decent weather on the day it was unfortunately one of those days where the lake's inhabitants weren't playing ball and, for most, a bite from anything was a premium.
Not so however for that legend of the coffin dodger circuit Bob Warren.
Armed with a fountain of knowledge and a bag full of leftover bait (nothing new there) from Thursday's Kingswod over-55's match, plus an healthy suntan from his recent Caribean cruise, Bob started the match on a roll catching skimmers and good sized silvers on soft pellet at close range from peg 23.
Simon Belcham, tucked around the corner on peg 21 was also catching on maggot while at the opposite end of the match Alan Healy on peg 29 was getting the odd good fish in between catching roach fry as was Mike Smith on peg 27.
Steve Burgess did manage to boost a fairly dismal net with a near 5lb carp that was hooked in the tail but despite trying every area in his swim and everyone else's, he also struggled.

Full Result:
  1. Bob Warren ...... peg 23 ... 13-3
  2. Simon Belcham ...... 21 ... 12-4
  3. Alan Healy .............. 29 ... 11-4
  4. Mike Smith ............. 27 ... 9-0
  5. Steve Burgess .......... 32 ... 6-10
  6. Eddie Wynne .......... 28 .... 6-0
Silvers:
  1. Bob Warren ....... 10-5
  2. Simon Belcham .. 8-2
  3. Mike Smith ......... 7-3
  4. Alan Healy .......... 6-8
  5. Eddie Wynne ...... 3-9
  6. Steve Burgess ..... 1-14
