For the second pairs match running it was a struggle in the Whalesborough Lake section with most of the larger weights being attributable to carp. The Middle Pound section improved on the last match with some good bags of silvers being produced. Len Codlin had top weight in the Middle Pound with a 9lb bag, all taken on the ten metre pole fishing maggot to the far back. However, partner Simon Hockaday could not back it up with a weight from the lake and the Cod Fathers finished fourth. In what was a very close contest it was a tie for first place between the Halwill Hustlers and the Bude Bay Pirates as both teams produced the best combination of catches, Peter Giles of the Pirates having the best net from the lake of 11lbs. Reigning champions Me and My Boy kept themselves at the pointy end of the league with third spot.
