Angling with Stan & Fiz - our weekly angling column
IN general, catching was difficult in Sunday’s open match in the East Midlands Winter League on the Nene at Oundle. With the weather incredibly changeable over the past week it was perhaps to be expected with the best area between the bridges. Peterborough’s Darren Page in the middle of this section caught 9lb 5oz of roach to win the match with Stanjay’s David Saunders second with skimmers from above Ashton footbridge.
With little or no rain expected conditions are unlikely to change and some anglers will face the prospect of a difficult day with the draw vital for team performance.
Result: 1 Darren Page (Garbolino Peterborough) 9lb 5oz, 2 David Saunders (Fox Match Stanjay) 7lb 11 � oz, 3 Paul Hendy (Browning Hotrods) 6lb 10oz, 4 Brian Gibson (Fox Match Stanjay) 6lb 4oz, 5 Tony Hayden (Fox Match Stanjay) 6lb 3oz, 6 Andy Moss (Browning Hotrods) 6lb 2oz.
Ramsey AS

Result: 1 Paul Kilby 3lb 13 � oz, 2 Andrew Kilby 3lb 9oz, 3 Keith Rayment 3lb 0 � oz
