Collinham's annual match attracted 44 anglers to their Millennium Fishery but, with a gale-force wind blowing, many found that fishing a long pole was all but impossible.

The winner, fishing the method feeder with corn on the hook, was Paul Cowling on Willow peg 20 with a catch of carp weighing 52-6-0.

Runner-up on Centenary peg 15 was Jason Jeale, fishing paste on a pole down the edge for 50-10-0, while Darren Harston was on peg 28 on Willow and finished third with 40-2-0 caught with a feeder.

Wayne Holland fished a method feeder with pellet from peg eight on Willow for 37-8-0 and fourth place, Keith Archer was fifth with 37-1-0, and Ian Donaldson was sixth with 36-1-0.

Railway Club fished at the prolific Fen Lakes at Metheringham and the top four all cracked the ton.

Winner was Colin Weir, fishing worm on the hook to take carp for a weight of 150-5-0, while Ron Sutton used maggot as bait for his second-placed 115-10-0.

An ounce behind in third was Kevin Wakefield, fishing pellet for 115-9-0, while Barry Young was fourth, fishing on pellets for exactly 100-0-0.
