Ricky Salmon was third with nine carp on corn at four metres, the biggest weighing in at 10lb for a 32lb 14oz total.

Steve Hall was fourth, with chopped worm netting 32lb 8oz of carp and silvers.

Section winners were Ian Cox (27lb 4oz), Chris Shaw (29lb 14oz) and Darren Webb (20lb 2oz).

In a bid for more bites, Webb changed to the method feeder, which attracted two bream of 2lb and 3lb for a 14lb 1oz net.
