The Halwill Hustlers maxed out the points to extend their lead in the league by winning both sections. Nathan Underwood banked 13lbs from the Lower Wharf while son Dan bagged 10lb plus from the Second Basin (losing a large carp into the bargain). Consistency is what you need in pairs and a slab on his new pole from Len Codlin was backed up by a succession of skimmers for team mate Matt Sampson (using Len's old pole) to both weigh 7lb apiece, enough to finish second. Third spot went to the Allen's who took advantage of a poor day for the Bude Bay Pirates to move Me and My Boy into second. With a 5.5 point lead the Hustlers look uncatchable with one match to go, but you never know on Bude Canal!
