KIDDERMINSTER DAA FLOAT ONLY CHAMPS (WEDS)

Round four saw Sensas Starlets stalwart Paul Downes triumph from peg 14 with a barbel and perch haul to 28-2-0 taken on flat float with lobworm hookbait. Paul’s big-fish approach saw him finish 3lb clear of Tipton’s Simon Christian, who used stick float and maggots for a dace-and-roach haul going 25-6-0. Dave Harrell’s third-placed 16-12-0 was enough to keep him at the top of the leader board.
