POINGDESTRES' Pete Newman came out on top on a high scoring match on the Broadlands Match Lake.

Anglers needed 39lb even to make the frame but Newman fished corn and pellet to take 20 carp to the scales to 6lb for a total of 77lb 12 oz from peg 16.

That was despite a blank last one and half hours when a carp angler fishing behind Newman banged bivvy pegs into the ground and frightened Newman's fish away.

Teammate Clive Egerton finished second with 17 carp for 68 from peg 20 on the pole and corn with Cormorants Team Sillybaits' Graham Maton third with 62lb 8oz of carp from peg 32. Garry Wright finished fourth with 53lb 6oz of carp from peg 22.

Others: K Moulton 47lb 4oz, S Hambidge (Dynamite Baits) 39lb.

The Homestores Open on Mike Smith's Long and Canal lakes on his Hordle Complex saw another win for that prolific scorer Homestores Sensas' Graham Tappenden, who took 67lb of carp consisting of 22 fish to 3lb from Long Lake on pole and corn with individual fish to 5lb.

Andy Palmer (TVAC) finished second with 42lb of carp to 6lb on the pole and corn from the Monk end of the Canal Lake with Davis Tackle's Mickey Maidment third with 21lb 12oz of small carp from Canal Lake.

Others: P Sears (Homestores) 18lb 10oz, B Drew (Eastleigh Mosella) 18lb 8oz, J Clark (Eastleigh Mosella) 17lb.

Mark Brown was third with 16lb 2oz from peg 16 and Chalkey White fourth with 13lb 3oz.

A good turnout of 46 anglers tackled the Pewsey Open on the Kennet and Avon Canal at Pewsey.
