Juan Pereira and Rob Cox collected the 2015 Doubles crown with 5 points and by virtue of weight countback when they finished on the same number of points as Mary Turner and John Male.
Juan played a big part in the victory by posting the biggest weight of the day of 104lb 80z from peg 7 on the Laurel whilst Rob Cox consolidated their victory by putting 25lb on the scales from the Oak, the win added to Rob's personal celebration as he was 51 on the day and he celebrated it by falling in.
Mary Turner and John Male pushed the winners all the way with Mary landing the top weight on the Oak with 60lb 9oz from Peg 1 while John chipped in with 38lb 6oz from Laurel. It was a good day for Mary not only with her second place in the event but she as also taken the early lead in the biggest fish of the season competition when she landed an 11lb Carp using the feeder.
Steve Cox and Alan Martin took the third spot with 9 points, 4 more than the leading two. Alan scaled 35lb 4oz which was enough for 6 points on Laurel whilst partner Steve took 3 points on the Oak with 31lb 8oz.
Three pairs ended up on 11 points and to be separated by overall weight to see who took the brown envelope.
Ian Rennie and the Langley Wizard Alan Whitmore collected the honours when they mustered 79lb 12oz. Ian was a little unlucky when he lost a good un mid-match which could have pushed them closer to the third spot.
Next best of the trio was Sean Durrant and Brian Tovey who totaled 67lb 8oz between them. Brian had a good day on Laurel with 56lb 8oz while Sean had a disappointing day with only 11lb. Colin Parsonage and Darren Bullock finished Third of the 11 points brigade with a total of 53lb 9oz.
The weights where well down on the normally prolific Cob House, I think this was mainly down to the weather which started OK but when the strong winds appeared it was like fishing in the sea. The top weights on the day was by those who selected the feeder attack. Both Alan Whitmore and John Male constantly lost their bait to the wind and to top it all John managed to break his landing net handle whilst trying to land a fish and battling the high winds, but with a little help from Pete Bullock they landed the fish.
