Winner overall, was Jason Mackey, who drew peg 60 on day one recording a weight of 56-12-00.
Day 2, Jason drew peg 22 weighing in 106-04-00 so resulting a 2 day total of 163-00-00.
Jason fished the method feeder with waffters to win the title and pocket a massive £2000.
In Second place overall was Mick Bull (Frenzee / Bag’em) who drew peg 76 on day 1 returning a level 60lbs.
Day 2 put him on peg 24 which returned him 102-09-00 of quality carp to the method fished at distance.

Day 2, Ian drew peg 74 and again fished the method at distance weighing in 64-10-00 for a cumulative two day total of 134-02-00.
