Yozzer's brothers Gary and Mally along with his nephews Alex , Ben and cousin Cookie represented the family in this top 2 + 2 challenge.
Split into eight sections of three gave everyone a bit of room in the quest to win the trophy.
In A Section Gary Hughes was pitted against Sumo and Bucko in the section of doom.However nobody told our Gary about the skills of the
 Fishomania and Maver Match This" NON-QUALIFIER "  Sumo and he with help from Alex he proceeded to kick Sumo's arse to come second in the section with 24-65.
Bucko was once again unstoppable and his 39-55 was enough to win the section and finish 4th overall.
In section  B Swipe Senior , Lee and Chris battled it out .This was where the fish seem to have holed up with both the 1st , 2nd place coming from here. A total of 145lb came from these three anglers with Lee winning the match with 66-50 . Nicky bagged 45-50 for second and Chris with 33-50.
Lee used the method feeder on the pole today and it paid off . Nicky as usual used a cocktail of Minty Old Bait and also caught the biggest fish of the day . A Monkey of a Common weighing 16-00 managed to beat a number of others on its own.
If that was not enough the spawney twat also won the 4 sirloin steaks donated by Bones .
For f****s sake does this guy have the luck of the Irish or what !!!!.
Sorry Rant Over.
In C Section Dave Edwards , Normo and Bob had a go of it and Normo picked up second in section with 22-25 as Bob DNW , another example of those pensioner f****rs taking our hard earned cash.
Dave Edwards as a hard working guy was not detered by being next to Normo and won the section with 31-20 to pick up his envelope.

In E section Andy , Les and Housey faced the wind for most of the day in a colder part of the lake .Well done for sticking it out boys.Andy was the victor in this section and an early lump as well as a couple at the end saw 27-60 in the bag . Housey managed 16-15 for second after almost seeing his seatbox roll down the bank and nearly into the water .The £15 section money would have been a welcome contribution to the new seat box fund if it had gone in.
