KING OF THE FENS

ROUNDS Three and Four of the King of the Fens have been fished over the last two weekends.

Round three was fished on the big Holland drain on August 1 and many anglers struggled, with the fish difficult to find.

RESULT (Individual): 1. Alastair Ogilvie Maver Baitech A 10lb 9 � oz, 2. Steve Clarke Image 10lb 9oz, 3. Stan Binge Fox Match Stanjay 9lb 14oz.

ROUND FOUR

THE league returned to Tydd Gote for Round Four with more fish to be caught but bonus fish dominated most sections, especially A and B where the right draw is essential.

Rick Tweddle won the match with 44lb 10oz of bream with Joff Hewitt close behind.

Teamwise it was a disappointing day for Fox Match Stanjay Gold who had no luck with the draw and had a poor set of results, apart from a fantastic section-winning small fish weight for Jon Whincup, finishing sixth overall.

The Stanjay Red team had a better day with fourth place overall and an individual fourth for Tony Watling.

RESULT: (Individual) 1. Rick Tweddle Maver Baitech B 44lb 10oz, 2. Joff Hewitt Mark One 43lb 15oz, 3. Steve Winter Maver Baitech A 21lb 3oz, 4. Tony Watling Fox Match Stanjay Red 20lb 5oz.
