ANGLING: Guru's Andy Pell picks up massive victory

In a blistering performance – on a peg from which he’d been runner-up on 94-6 in the previous round – he almost trebled the next man’s weight with 22 carp on feeder for 155-6.

Next up, almost 100lb adrift, was Ray Durrant on 58-6 followed by Nigel Smith 56-4.

Both were out for Team Meadowlands, but a disappointing third-man result meant they finished second on the day with 13 points (two ahead of Guru) as Lowdowns won without a man in the top three.

With three rounds to go, Garbolino lead overall on 50, one point ahead of Garbolino who are four up on Guru.

Lima had a 4-2 on Olney’s section.
