The second round of the Warwick Winter League was a little disappointing with fish hard to come by in some areas, on a river cooled by a sharp overnight frost.

Peg 7 at Saxon Mill is always good for a few roach and turned up trumps again for Porto/Bailey’s Tom Hitchman.  Fishing caster on long pole Tom caught roach to 4 ounces steadily through the match for a level 5-00-00 lbs winning bag.

At Myton Road 3 Gordon Thorpe, Jetbreakers “B” took a bonus tench to boost his small roach catch to 4-15-00 and second place.

A guest appearance from Rob Middleton, representing Guys Cliffe Ballers, took a 4-07-00 net of small roach from Avon Street 34 and third place.

Graham Thompson and John Fisher tied for fourth place with 4-06-00 leaving Martin Cox  to complete the frame with 4-03-00.

The team event was equally as tight as the individual event, with Match Box putting in a solid performance for a 60 points winning total, ahead of Jetbreakers “B” on 56. Guys Cliffe Ballers made 55 points for third with Porto/Baileys in fourth with 53. Wormbashers and The Joseph Arch were joint fifth with 52 points with Warwick’s Portobello in 6^th just off ‘the pace’ with 46 points.

Fourth place for Porto/Baileys was enough to keep top league place with 114 points. Guys Cliffe Ballers climbed to second on 108 with the two Jetbreakers sides are lying 3^rd and 4^th, separated by one point, with the “B” stream ahead on 106 to the “A” sides 105. Wormbashers on 98 points and Browning Central 89 are in 5^th and 6^th waiting for the leaders to make a mistake.

Graham Thompson is leading the individual league with 35 points, ahead of this week’s winner Tom Hitchman on 33 along with Derek Martin.
