Steve Thame restored his winning ways to win ahead of Brian Cripps. The full result was:

Steve Thame 8-6-0

Brian Cripps 5-5-0

Dave Smith 3-14-0

Over 70's match 17th August 2016

The over 70's (and over 80's) took their mid-August match to Dobsons where a field of 9 anglers tackled a very difficult water, with the fish not biting much at all. Only two managed to catch and weigh in. The points would push G Wooton and Eric Goswell to the upper middle of the points table, poised nidely for the next round. In short the result is:

G Wootton   1lb 8oz

E Goswell   6oz
