KING OF THE FENS

THE first round of this summer’s King of the Fens league was fished on Sunday at Tydd Gote.

Even with a drastic change in the weather to give the warmest day of the year so far, the venue fished pretty well with small fish to be caught in every peg.

With 16 anglers in the sections, any team needed a bit of luck with the draw to do well.

Maver Bait-tech purple were the winners on the day with a very good score of just 15 points. The next five places were covered by only five points.

Individually Sean Higginbottom was the winner with 50lb, although Spike Milligan ran him close with 46lb 7oz.

RESULT: (individual) 1. Sean Higginbottom 50lb; 2, Spike Milligan 46lb 7oz; 3. John Bates 31lb 11oz; 4. Dave Bontoft 21lb 11oz; 5. John Price 19lb 15oz.

Teams: 1. Maver Bait-tech Purple 15pts; 2. Mark One White 23pts; 3. Maver Bait-tec Gold 25pts; 4. Mark One Old Boys 26pts; 5. Maver Image Vets 27pts; 6. Fox Match Stanjay Gold 28pts.
