Winner on the day was Alcester Sports rod Nick Cowling. Nick caught four bream on flat-float tactics, feeding chopped worms and casters, and fishing a small piece of worm on the hook. Nick fished 13 metres from the bank, and took all four of his fish in the second hour of the match – with the anglers either side of him also managing a bream each.
