THERE was a good turnout in the latest Sunday Open at the popular Ridgeway Fisheries at South Cerney.

This meant there was a better payout than normal, and the match winner Mark Baston also took home the golden peg monies for good measure.

This was Mark's first win on the venue, but he has featured in the prize list on two other visits to the water.

He weighed in 20lb 7oz of small fish on the pole to beat John Bennet, 14-10-0. Joe Thompson was third with 12-10-0.

Steve Neale took a cracking 52-9-0 of carp and tench to win Highworth's GE Cup on the ever-improving Roughgrounds lake near Lechlade.

Other good weights followed with Nick Cheeseman second with 36-2-0. He was followed closely by Stuart Barnett 35-14-0. The F Gee Junior Trophy was won by young James Venton with 4-4-0.

Pete Sole is taking some holding lately and he continued his winning ways in the Wednesday club match held last week at Devizes AC's Crookwood Lake.

Pete scorched home with a fabulous 74-10-0 weight, leaving Derek Hillier second on 42-7-0. Third was Ricky Spiteri 29lb.

Fourth was Val Hillier with 22-14-0, who went on to the Ivy House Lakes Veterans match on Friday and recorded a fine win with 45lb.
