Jamie Derry was the winner of Braintree and Bocking Angling Society’s McDowell Cup at the Fennes.

Club matches at the venue continue to provide good weights into double figures of roach, perch and bream and Derry won the silverware with 18-8-0 of roach and skimmers on Hobbs Croft.

Sections (excluding winner): 1 M Orrin 15-13-0, 2 J Downham 16-9-0.

The recent Sweep fished on Ash Grounds saw seven weights over ten pounds, but the winner, Alan Luetchford, more than doubled that with an excellent 22-9-0.

Sections (excluding winner): 1 R Percival 14-9-0, 2 J Loosley 14-8-0.

Following a low weight result at Notley a few weeks ago the fish are feeding again.

Breaking the ice resulted in a win for Jim Loosley as he landed five F1s and a skimmer for 9-0-0.

He then completed his hat-trick, landing two carp, two F1s, skimmers and roach for an 18-12-0 total, while Keith Nash weighed one carp, plus silvers for 10-0-0 and second.
