Eric Miles Memorial Match

THE traditional start to the King of the Rec series, the Eric Miles Memorial match, was fished on the recreation ground on Saturday.

Conditions were excellent with a steady flow, a bit of colour and warm weather.

The match was won by Mark Dickerson from peg 10 with an all-small-fish catch of 12lb 6oz. Paul Ashcroft was second from peg 12, also a golden peg with 10lb which included a 4lb 11oz tench and Josh Pace was third with 9lb 14oz.

With the fourth and fifth weights also being nearly seven pounds, the venue is fishing well.

RESULT: 1 Mark Dickerson Stanjay MG 12lb 6oz, 2 Paul Ashcroft St Ives 10lb, 3 Josh Pace Browning Hotrods 9lb 14oz, 4 Paul Hendy Stanjay MG 6lb 11oz, 5 Stan Binge Browning Stanjay 6lb 10oz.

East Midlands Winter League Practice Match

THE Nene at Oundle looked good with a little colour and steady flow but the day proved too clear and sunny for the fish to feed with any confidence.

The winner was Mark One's John Bates with 29lb 4oz ahead of Hotrods trio Tim Nash, Ian Reynolds and Josh Pace.

Both Browning Hotrods and Browning Stanjay go into the match hoping for a minor miracle as they attempt to make up the deficit on league leaders Van Den Eynde and Sensas Mark One White.

RESULT: 1 John Bates Sensas Mark One White 29lb 4oz, 2 Tim Nash Browning Hotrods 12lb 15oz, 3 Ian Reynolds Browning Hotrods 9lb 12oz, 4 Josh Pace Browning Hotrods 9lb 6oz.
