JANET Ockwell won the Raychem match held at Liden Lagoon with a little help from husband Dennis.
After four hours without a bite, Janet was ready to go home and walked along to Dennis's peg, asking him if he was ready to go.
However, at that moment his quiver tip moved, resulting in a 2lb bream, so Janet returned to her peg and calmly caught a 3-8-0 carp that proved enough to win.
Second place went to Graham Rose with one tench for 2-10-0 and third spot went to Fred Brown with one bream for 2-7-0.
As for Dennis, he finished seventh with his one fish and a share of the £20 payout for making his wife Janet stay to the very end.
South Cerney AC's match lake at Wick Water is proving very popular, especially with no chance of fishing our rivers.
The Wednesday Veterans Open attracted 14 anglers and match winner Fred Brown used a feed to good effect to easily win with 18-12-0 of carp.
Richard Wallis caught most of his 9-12-0 second place catch late on in the match using a feeder and then the pole to just beat Derrick Hillier who finished third on 9-8-0. Fourth was Ricky Spiteri with 7lb.
