          The first winner's purse of the week at Boldings Pools went to Darren Warden [PI Boldings] when he put together a top score of 109-12-0 at Chestnut peg 7. Targeting carp and bream with pellet and maggot did the trick for Darren, bringing carp to 7lbs and bream to 3lbs to the net.

          Eric Bancroft [PI Bold] finished just shy of 100lbs with his top weight form the Beech, 99-5-0 from peg 7. Eric fished pellet and paste in the side for carp to 6lbs. Phil Shaw PI Boldings put a level 87-0-0 on the scales at Chestnut 21 to pick up third, and Les Willis made a full house of PI Boldings rods in the frame with 84-10-0 from Chestnut 32.

The Willows produced the winner for Stuart Aston [Swan] in the form of carp to 6lbs and barbel to 3lbs at peg 13. Stu worked corn and pellet to the paddles and down the side to pick off 66-9-0.

                    Dan Lee [Ludlow] topped the list on Thursday after he drew peg 33 on the Sycamore. Presenting pellet at 7 metres put him in contact with carp to 8lbs and bream to 3lbs, which he used to build a 105-6-0 winning bag.

          Brian Travis [Shrewsbury] topped the Chestnut Pool catches to fill second place, he had carp and bream to 7lbs and 2lbs respectively on pellet and corn in the side and at 7 metres to record 87-8-0 at peg 39. Eric Bancroft made the list again, finishing third this time by scaling 79-4-0 at Sycamore 13, and Dave Brown had another fourth thanks to 78-12-0 from Sycamore 48.

 

                    Saturday saw Alun Jones [Wrexham] take a turn at the top when his corn bait just put him ahead of Matt Stobbs [Oakengates Angling Centre]. Alun was on Beech peg 5 and had carp to 7lbs from the margins to weigh 90-3-0.

          Matt drew Oak peg 5 where caster fished shallow and in the side gave a catch of carp to 5lbs totaling 87-11-0. At Oak 16, Harry Colley [PI Bold] booked in 59-14-0 for third, which was closely followed by 57-6-0 from Steve Owen [Monkhall] at Oak 31.

                    Dave Brown took complete charge of the Thursday open to record his second win of the week, and it was maggot which did the business again.
