Cromwell Lake

THE final of this year's Van Den Eynde Saturday series saw a very competitive match, with no-one sure who had won until the weigh-in was completed.

The winner of the £500 first prize was Ricky Ashwell, who weighed in 40lb 10oz of mainly bream from peg nine.

Ricky, who has been one of the most consistent anglers on the venue over several years, was a fitting winner, although Brian Gibson's 28lb 12oz from peg 17 for second place was also an excellent performance.

With the top six anglers all weighing more than 20 pounds and the default section winners all with good double figure weights, the match was a success.

RESULT: 1 Ricky Ashwell GOT Baits 40lb 10oz, 2 Brian Gibson Fox Match Stanjay 28lb 12oz, 3 Andy Leathers Hotrods 25lb 15oz, 4 Terry Allgood Cromwell Lake 22lb, 5 Steve Ashwell GOT Baits 21lb 14oz, 6 Ian Benton Fox Match Stanjay 20lb.

Sections: Mark Dickerson, Steve Welford and Stan Binge.

Series: 1 Steve Ashwell 270pts, 2 Ricky Ashwell 250pts, 3 Stan Binge 219pts, 4 Terry Allgood 218pts.

Wednesday Evening Series

ALTHOUGH well ahead in the series, Brian Gibson still needed a good result in last Wednesday's match as he misses the next two rounds. He made no mistake as he weighed in 28lb of bream and carp from peg 11, with Fizz Drake taking second place from peg nine with 17lb 10oz and Stan in third with 13lb 4oz.

RESULT: 1 Brian Gibson Fox Match Stanjay 28lb, 2 Fizz Drake Fox Match Stanjay 17lb 10oz, 3 Stan Binge Fox Match Stanjay 13lb 4oz, 4 Ricky Ashwell GOT Baits 9lb 10oz, 5= Geordie Best/Vince Hull/Keith Ellington 9lb 1oz.

King of the Fens

THE second round of this new summer series was fished at Benwick on Sunday, with some excellent weights recorded. The match was won individually by Browning Hotrods man Steve Welford, with 37lb 4oz from Burtons Bank, including 10 bream.

Hotrods were also team winners on the day, with an excellent total of only nine points.

Another second place finish for our Fox Match Stanjay team puts us top of the league after two matches, one point ahead of Hotrods.

Ramsey AS

ALTHOUGH Ramsey St Mary's was weedy, all those who caught bonus fish did best on Thursday evening. After losing his first three tench, Adrian Wylde resorted to carp tackle and landed three tench, plus a pound-and-a-half rudd in his winning weight. Andrew Kilby's tench on the final whistle took him into second place.

RESULT: 1 Adrian Wylde 11lb 4oz, 2 Andrew Kilby 4lb 8oz, 3 Duncan Folkes 4lb.

Sunday's running line only match on the Forty Foot saw the two end pegs take the top places, although Harry Young, who was second from the Ramsey end, was fortunate after he lost a bream, all his bait and his mobile phone during the match.

RESULT: 1 Ivan Steels 5lb 1oz, 2 Harry Young 4lb 1oz, 3 Keith Rayment 3lb 11oz.

PAUL Ashcroft continued his winning form with victories in both the Thursday and Sunday matches.
