Sunday saw one of the club rearranged comps. 11 anglers attended with 47 fish caught with a total weight of just over 86lbs. Over half had bag limits early on which then resulted in time bonuses. Young angler Eifion Roberts had his 6 fish by 11.20 but with Mitch Atherton's heavier fish by 12.30 it pushed Eifion to 2nd place with Sonny Owen in 3rd.
All leading catches were using fast glass intermediate lines with Various booby's taking the majority of fish with a sunburst blob also taking many. Many fish were caught on the Pins, Gregory Rock and out of Cae Adda. Sonny Owen was out the next day and bagged a 5lb Rainbow near Gregory Rock.
