Andy Benwell (Predator) is this year’s Carp League 2009 champion with one more match left in the series.

With 18 points, he cannot be caught.

Last Sunday, 17 matchmen fished the Canal Pool at Tunnel Barn, which performed very well, and Benwell clinched the title with a net of carp, F1 and barbel on paste worth 113.7.0.

A similar bag of fish gave Matt Ryman (Predator) second with 85.14.0. He also fished paste.

Fishing caster long to the island, Nick Dean (Maggots End) was third with 77.1.0.

Beehive AC fished the third leg of their Beehive Cup at Lower Court, where conditions were perfect.

Masons’ Simmonds Cup was fished by 17 at Stable Lake, Kirtlington, where the carp did not seem to settle, so everyone was alternating between pole and feeder.

Bill Davis was second with 10.8.0. He caught 7lb of bleak on the whip and maggot and then switched to the waggler for a few skimmers and roach.

Martin MacDonald caught 48 roach and skimmers on maggot for 10.2.0 and third.

They paid out on fourth place on this match and it was Tony Davies with 9.14.0 who took the money. He fished the maggot-feeder and landed three good chub, plus bits.

Littlemore were on their stretch of the Thames at Sandford for their Vice Presidents Cup and the 12 anglers paid respect to their former president and vice president Richard Butler beforehand.

Fishing the pole and punch, Maurice Winstone caught skimmers and roach for a winning 9.8.0.

Anthony Tompkins settled for second with 8.13.0 after fishing maggot over chop for a mixed bag of silver fish, followed by Ron Hamblin with 5.4.0 of small skimmers and roach on maggot.

Dennis Butler also had small roach and perch on the pole midstream with maggot for a second-placed 3.0.0, while Terry Yates caught small roach, perch and the odd bleak for 2.3.0 on third.

The Thames at Benson looked in good nick for Benson’s Roach Cup fished by seven, but it proved poor for the roach which only counted on this match – everything else was put back.

Ian Fisher used liquidised bread and flake to win with 3.6.0, followed by Lol Budd, who fished the waggler and maggot for 2.8.0. Mick Marriott and Dave Head were joint third with 1.14.0.
