Peatmoor junior teams put up some crushing performances in the Annual Shakespeare 2000 Junior Open Team Championship when the match was switched from The Warwickshire Avon to the Grand Union Canal at Hatton.
They not only supplied the top and third placed teams but also fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh individual anglers.
Young Mark Kimber from Chiseldon, fishing for the third placed team Peatmoor Blue, had the match already won when he easily sealed victory with a 4lb bream taken in the last 20 minutes using a pole with caster and worm cocktail hook bait.
This fish helped him to a cracking 9-13-8 weight well ahead of second placed Leslie Wright (Derby Blue) 3-11-0.
It was the Peatmoor Red stars who took the team honours with a 33 point total ahead of Evesham Red. Peatmoor Blue were third on 30 points.
In the Isis Xmas match at Sutton Benger, Arthur Cook on peg 137, just above the weir stormed the match with a small bream and tench catch weighing 25-5-0 taken on the feeder, his partner in the pairs cup was Brian Webb who came second with 14-7-0, with Bream to 8-7-0 taken on Lobworm from peg 107. Rod Bullock was third from peg 106, he took third with a quality bag of roach weighing 6-9-0 using a Mickey Mouse float and maggots on the hook.
