Nene Summer League

The second match of the league was fished at Orton up and down on Sunday. Although the river was still weedy, the extra colour after a little recent rain made all the difference and those who knew the river best and recognised that there was the potential for big weights did best. A third of the field caught double figure weights with the top two anglers, Paul Wright and Martin Roper, catching bream from the section downstream of the Rowing Course. The other weights were mainly of roach.

Our Stanjay team did not do as well as in the first round and are now placed in the middle of the league.

Brampton AS

Round four of the Twilight Series was won by Chris Saunders, who had the luxury of catching two early bonus fish - a perch and an eel. He then steadily added skimmers and hybrids to maintain his first place. Paul irons was second and Dave Silsby third.

RESULT: 1 Chris Saunders 6lb 1 1/2 oz, 2 Paul Irons 5lb, 3 Dave Silsby 2lb 9 1/2 oz

The series is very close with both Chris Saunders and Paul Irons having scored 38 points from a possible 40.
