This match was the second leg of the Ranson trophy and was fished on the Hurston Match Pond. The conditions were not ideal for the match with an overnight frost and heavy rain the previous day and not surprisingly the weights were low with two blanks. The match itself was fished under dry and sunny conditions although the temperature dropped during the day.

Vince Herringshaw fishing Peg 7 won the match with 7-3-8 which consisted of a carp and a bream with both fish being caught on the long pole on his silverfish line.

In second place was Steve Simmonds who found a pocket of small roach by a weed bed in Peg 10. He use his trusty whip and maggot to weigh in 2-3-8.
