TYDD GOTE

Last Wednesday he once again showed his class by topping the Tydd Gote match there with 8lb 6oz of small fish taken on the pole with pinkie.

In the Sunday Tydd match, Paul Bawden won with a modest 4lb 11oz of skimmers, roach and perch.

Second with 4lb 8½oz was Andy Greenwood and third Darren Williams on 13oz.
