Fred Brown easily won Cloverleaf's match at Lakeside (Devizes) with a 59lb 9oz bag, well ahead of Derick Hillier (28-9-0) and Steve Neale (26-7-0).

With the roach hardly showing, Sunday's BCA match on the River Cole was a struggle and Vince Harvey needed only 2lb 6oz to win from Graham Smith (1-12-0) and Derek Wright (1-0-0).

Malcolm Fitzgerald experimented with a brand new range of groundbaits made by Gilder, and this brought him two bream for 8-14-0 plus over 2lb of bits to win the latest Raychem match at Sunset lake at Lemington with a total of 11-2-0.

Second was Neil Hitchinson with 9-12-0 and third was Ian Barker 7-10-0.

The Wednesday Veterans switched their attentions to Coate Water Country Park and were disappointed with the results on a very hot day.

It was perch which made up the bulk of the catches, Cliff Brown taking the most with 5-4-0 ahead of Len Simpson 3-14-0, Graham Rose 3-5-0 and fourth Colin Dunn 2-14-0. Some anglers didn't even have a bite!
