The final round of the Colmic Teams of Four on the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal took place today.

This week the match lengths were:

* A Section — Charlton upstream to the Engine House down to Charlton Bridge. TAA
* B Section — five pegs before the wires and five pegs after the wires downstream of Charlton Bridge. TAA
* C Section — Lower Maunsel. BAA
* D Section — The Wides and the Boat Anchor. BAA.

The weather leading up to the match had once again been cold overnight, although the wind was finally blowing in the right direction this week, which certainly helped conditions a little.

Despite that, it was still very hard going on the Roach and Rudd fishing once again. The Tench fishing, however, continued to produce some good weights.

Steve Bishop led the way with an excellent net of nine Tench and a Bream from Peg 1. His weight of 16kg 350g was comfortably enough to take the match win.

Adam Rich also found some quality fish, landing four nice Tench for 9kg 355g and 2nd place overall.

Robbie Kepner rounded off the top three with 6kg 525g.

So, which teams prevailed in the end?

There were still a few places up for grabs in the middle of the table going into the final round, and one good performance could see teams jump several places — especially with the difficult conditions and peg bias we’ve seen throughout the year.

The teams making moves today were Enterprise and Chard VDE.

Enterprise clawed back four points but agonisingly fell just half a point short of four skins and 4th place overall.

Chard VDE, however, managed to pull two points back on Ringers Milo to jump ahead of them and secure the final paying place in 5th position.

At the top of the table, Colmic Somerset managed to fend off the challenge from Census Devices to remain three points clear and secure the league title with an impressive total of 11 points.

Final standings at the top looked like this:
1st — Colmic Somerset — 11 points
2nd — Sensas Devices — 14 points
3rd — 4-Skins — 28 points
4th — Enterprise Angling — 28.5 points
5th — Chard VDE — 35 points

A hard-fought series throughout the year with every point proving important right up until the final whistle.
