The final match in the Oxford Bus AC calendar was fished by six anglers at Fritwell, and although the wind made life pretty uncomfortable, it fished well.

Dougie Robinson completed a hat-trick by winning the last three matches held at Fritwell and his total weight was 242.2.0, including last Sunday’s match.

He fished the pole at 13 metres with maggot, targeting a bit of a feature and the carp just kept on coming. At the final whistle, he weighed in a top weight of 58.2.0.

Anthony Tompkins also fished maggot, this time at ten metres straight out in front of him, ending up with a net of quite large carp and small roach for a second-placed 33.12.0.

Pete Clarke finished third with 22.6.0 of carp, again on maggot.

Beehive AC kicked off their new season with a warm-up match at Milton Pools, where a sharp wind made life awkward for the 15 matchmen.

The winner was Nigel Waters with a mixed bag of carp, tench and orfe to pole and corn for 44.7.0.

Kevin Jeacock was runner-up with 41.8.0 of carp and tench at 13 metres on pellet, pipping Bob Alder, who had 41.3.0 on pole and paste.

Oxford Waltonian fished their Cuddesdon Shield against the New Club on the Thame at Wheatley Bridge. The match was fished by 12, but only three caught.

It was a bit of a one-sided affair, with Waltonian taking the honours.

Alan Gee claimed top spot with a total of 20.5.0. comprising five chub and a ruffe on topper float with caster.

Mick Baston had to settle for second with four chub on pole and maggot for 15.4.0, followed by Barry Edwards, who used pole and punch to tempt a 2lb perch and a roach for 2.7.8.

The match raised £58 for charity in memory of Pete Jackson.

The Cherwell at Branson’s Meadow was as clear as a bell and very hard work for the 13 anglers fishing Kidlington’s Last Chance Cup.

With two good chub of 5.6.0 and 4.15.0 in his net, Terry Lester was well out in front with 15.11.0, his fish falling to pole and worm.

Legering red maggot, Dave Scott-Picton netted a bream worth a second-placed 4.3.8, and third with a 2.8.0 perch on maggot-feeder was Dave Britnell.

Final points after 19 matches: J Bean 120, H Clarke 118, A Middleton 117, G Cuss 89.

The Town Waters was the venue for the Jolly Anglers Novice Cup, fished by nine members.

Anthony Brooker caught a couple of chub on maggot-feeder for a winning 7.2.0.

Frank Butler also had two chub on the same method, but they were slightly smaller, giving him second spot with 4.12.0, while third with 3.0.0 comprising a chub and bullhead was Phil Ansell.

Kinloch AC fished the Thames at Folly, which produced 11 blanks among the 17 anglers.

Pegged by the old gasworks bridge, Colin Manning fished an open-ended feeder packed with chopped worm, plus a whole worm on the hook, to catch three perch for a winning 1.8.0.

Mick Manning also used worm for a chub of 0.12.0, while Wayne Gray’s 0.8.0 perch on maggot was enough for third.

It was a real struggle on the Oxford Canal at Grovelands for the North Oxford AS match, fished by seven.

There were a few boats through which stirred up the bottom, but the fishing was hard.

Cliff Harris winkled out five little roach on bronze maggot for 0.11.0, which was enough to win.

Maurice Winstone also caught five tiny fish on bloodworm over joker for 0.5.8, and Ted Cummings finished third with four roach for 0.4.8.

The Sutton Courtenay Committee verses Members match on the Otneys was a total disaster for the eight-man field, with only one fish being caught – a tiny gudgeon.

It fell to Alan Hewer, who fished a straight lead, a size 20 hook and a single pinkie placed down the edge. The fish weighed 0.1.0.
