There was a tie in points for the overall result, with Mike and Paul on three points, taking it on weight from John and Liam, also on three points.

N.A.F.A. Juniors fished the first round of the Teign Trophy Summer League on Key. Winner on the day was Ashley Smith with 5k 510g. Second was Ben Avery with 3k 310g, and third was Alex Daniels with 1k 760g.

This Sunday is the John Loveridge Memorial Pole Match on Key and Bradley.

At Rackerhayes, many of the fish have been spawning, triggered by the recent hot weather, although sport can be had on most ponds.

Wapperwell continues its good form with mixed bags of skimmers, carp and tench as do Spring and Charlecombe with carp to 14lb showing on pellet, corn or meat.
