Hillview, 11 April (12 pegs)

Not a big weight match by any stretch of the imagination but a close result all the same!
It seemed that the carp were not going to settle in any particular area but were happy to cruise just below the surface up and down the matchlength instead. Using this to his advantage Alan Healy fished meat at half depth to the far bank of peg 91 picking off enough fish to take the top spot with 22lbs 4oz.
Second place with 20-9 went to Stuart Riddle on end peg 95. Stuart caught to begin with tight to the far bank reeds on pellet but was suffering from foul-hookers and lost fish before switching to his right hand margin where he managed a late run of carp on paste.
At the other end of lake 4, Bob Warren managed 3rd and the lake 4 section (by default) with 18-7.
Top weight on lake 3 and 4th place went to Derek Lucas with 16-4.
