King of The Fens

THE first round of this new summer series was fished at Tydd Gote on Sunday in awful windy conditions which made presentation almost impossible.

There were fish to be caught although fishing was not an enjoyable experience. Mark One Black team were the winners on the day with our Fox Match Stanjay team in second - very pleasing after next to no practice and a tribute to application in difficult conditions.

New signing Hans Schunmann led the way with a section win, with Brian Gibson third and Mark Pollard fifth in their 13-man sections. Kye Jerrom also made an impressive start to his Hotrods career with a second place overall.

RESULT (Individual): 1 Andy Payne MAP Peterborough 10lb 2oz, 2 Kye Jerrom Browning Hotrods White 8lb 12oz, 3 Mick Dixon Bourne A 7lb 7oz, 4 Roy Woodward Mark One Black 7lb 3oz, 5 Hans Schunmann Fox Match Stanjay 7lb 1oz.

Teams: 1 Mark One Black 21pts, 2 Fox Match Stanjay 27pts, 3 Van Den Eynde 28pts, 4 Hotrods Red 30pts, 5= Bourne A, Peterborough, Holbeach & Hotrods White 31pts.

Cromwell Lake

RESULT: 1 Vince Hull 64lb, 2 Dave Rawlins Fox Match Stanjay 44lb 8oz, 3 Mark Dickerson Fox Match Stanjay 38lb 8oz, 4 Terry Allgood Cromwell Lake 24lb 8oz, 5 Brian Gibson Fox Match Stanjay 16lb 8oz, 6 Ray Myring St Ives 13lb 8oz.

Leeda Wednesday Series

BRIAN Gibson added another match win to his impressive set of results in this year's series, although Stan and lake co-owner Terry Allgood ran him very close. All is not over for the challengers though as Brian has to miss two of the matches in July and has no room for any mistake if he is to retain his title.

RESULT: 1 Brian Gibson Fox Match Stanjay 26lb 12oz, 2 Stan Binge Fox Match Stanjay 26lb 9oz, 3 Terry Allgood Cromwell Lake 25lb 4oz, 4 Ricky Ashwell GOT Baits 15lb 14oz, 5 Steve Welford Browning Hotrods 15lb 6oz.
