Carp match reels in £1,400 for charity

In reality, with the fish starting to shoal for winter following several increasingly cold nights, there was only ever going to be one pair in it: the one drawing on ‘the point’.

That was Jay Shute and Niven Woodfine (pictured) who landed 17 fish for 206-14 – with Jay also getting the biggest of the match at 19-12.

John Wells and Danny Evans were runners-up with two fish for a very distant 34-15 followed by Mike Carol and Mark Tyrell (four fish) on 17-12.
