The week began with victory at last Wednesday’s summer series qualifier, finishing more than 15 pounds clear of the rest with an impressive 143lb total haul from peg 30 on canal.

But the real fireworks began after drawing the same peg for the weekly Sunday Open.

Designated the golden peg, the Middy angler stormed to his second win with a huge lake record of 216lb 1oz, which netted him £160 in bonus winnings.

Sean Huggins had to settle for second place with a haul of 146lb - a weight usually more than good enough to win - as the top four all reached three figures.

Michael Elliot won Saturday’s qualifier with 132lb from lagoon’s peg 25, while peg 30 on canal once again proved profitable for runner-up Stu Dalby who took top weight on the lake with 107lb to take the £100 golden peg bonus.

But the two qualifying spots for September’s Summer Series final went to Tony Blackwell who finished third on Saturday, just 11 ounces behind Dalby, and Tony Ryan who was 10th last Wednesday with 85lb 13oz from peg five on lagoon.
