DEVIZES Angling made it five wins this season out of five and with one match remaining in the Upper Thames division of the Angling Times League are already celebrating as winners.

Their nearest rivals before Sunday's match was Swindon Tribe but they could only finish sixth, meaning the runners-up team spot overall is now a fight between, Lobbys Tackle, Tribe and Cotswold Angling.

Match winner was Thatcham AC's Mick Herbert who caught some good quality roach fishing the far bank with pole and caster for his 9lb 5oz weight.

Steve Bateman of Swindon Tribe topped a row of 7lb weights with his 7-13-0 bag, ahead of Keith Daniels (Cotswold), 7-9-8, and Alan Chapman (Thatcham), 7-8-0.

Devizes AC easily won the match on the day with a cracking 101 points ahead of Lobbys (89 points) and Thatcham (74).
