*
Three anglers tied on 31 points and for that reason section wins were reverted to. This resulted in a tie again between Geoff Foreman and Ross Bibby (Rob Bishop having no section wins automatically became third top points angler)
Because of the above the issue was decided on weight. Ross Bibby having 121lb 4oz to Geoff Foremans 102lb 8oz for the series.

SENSAS COLEMANS TAKE THE LEAD
A strong blustery wind made fishing long difficult for many anglers in this round fished over both lakes at this venue.

However the team that mastered this best for the win were Browning Wickford Blue with a strong team performance that saw them a distance off second team Sensas Colemans Green although the Sensas pack now head the league.

Individually the match was won by Paul Chambers (Sensas Colemans Green) fishing sweet corn to the island on the Old Lake catching carp to 5lb for 87lb. Top weight off the New Lake (Silver Fish Only) was Mark Campion (Sensas Colemans Green) with 14lb 15oz 8drms.

River Cam – Pike and Eels to Baitsbite Lock

Harwich Match Group Tame the Cam
Crystal clear water, bright sunshine and a strong downstream wind made this a difficult first round. One team that convincingly overcame these problems were the Harwich Match Group, with two section wins and two third in sections. Apart from winning the day they also produced the individual winner in Russell Foulger with five bream for 20lb 4oz all caught long on chopped worm from the Baitsbite Lock section, downstream of the A14 road bridge. Next peg was second man Mark Campion (Sensas Colemans Green) with 10lb.
