The final qualifier for the Barston Masters developed into a peg to peg battle between Dave Smalley and Mark Green.

Dave, who runs Mill Tackle, fished a superb Match off un-fancied peg 60. Normally an area for the pole, Dave opted to fish the Method feeder to take the match with 81lb of carp, skimmers and F1.

Keeping him honest all the way was Mark Green on peg 59, who fished the Method and the pole to put 71lb 4 oz on the scales.

Andy Sutton took third spot with a fine performance on the pole. Andy started on the Method feeder but soon realised they were not there in numbers and changed to the pole after an hour. It was the right choice and put 64lb on the scales.
