In second place was Martin Preston & Scott Puddy with 5 points , in third place with 7 points was Peter Upperton & Robbie Taylor , in forth place with 9 points was Steve Ford & Chris Cameron.
Joanne Combes reported on the open match on Tanners and Woodpecker lakes. Stating “Was hard fishing today as we have a lot of rain in the last 24 hours so a lot of cold water which affects the fishing.”
