AFTER good fishing on Thursday and Friday in the warmer weather, Saturday's weights were disappointing as the weather and air pressure changed.

First place was very close between father and son Steve and Ricky Ashwell, with Steve just ahead on bigger fish, but Ricky's small fish taking him just past his dad.

Keith Westerby was third from peg nine with four bream and bits for 13lb 14oz, and Stan was fourth with 12lb 15oz.

RESULT: 1 Ricky Ashwell, St Neots 17lb 1oz, 2 Steve Ashwell, St Neots 16lb 13oz, 3 Keith Westerby, Brampton 13lb 14oz, 4 Stan Binge, VDE Stanjay MG 12lb 15oz, 5 John Pratt, Gt Paxton 7lb 15oz, 6 Steve Gordon, VDE Stanjay MG 6lb 7oz

THE second round of the Wednesday Evening Series saw a couple of good weights then a very close contest for the other positions.

Graham Gooddraw was the winner from peg one with 19lb 8oz, just ahead of Stan's 18lb 12oz from peg 19.

Third place went to Geordie Best, fishing the lake in a match for the first time, with 6lb 8oz. Keith Ellington, who is also relatively new to match fishing, came fourth. Kevin Medlock was fifth.

This week's match was fished on Willows, and the result was again affected by anglers having nets disqualified after failing to estimate their weights.

The winner was Lee Thornton with 126lb, with just one ounce separating Pete Ashton and Ian Vigar in second and third.

RESULT: 1 Lee Thornton, 126lb, 2 Pete Ashton, 94lb, 3 Ian Vigar, 93lb, 4 Trevor Oakman, 70lb.
