Martyn Travis ((MS Total Angling) was on Beech peg 16 and offered maggot and corn close in to pick up carp to 7lbs on his way to 64-15-0 and second place. Harry Colley (OB Wolves) followed up his two Monday wins on the trot with a third place this time, scaling 60-7-0 at Beech 7, and back on the Hawthorn, Carl Foster (OBW) was just behind on 59-6-0 at peg 15.

Peg 23 on the Chestnut provided the Monday winner last week, and this week it came up trumps on Wednesday for Howard Williams (Weston Pools). He ignored the island to fish close in to each side of the peg, and found carp to 7lbs and bream to 2lbs to end on 71-5-0.

Chris Holmes (Bridgnorth AS) added to his run with a second placed 63-10-0 at Chestnut 30, his catch of carp to 5lbs coming to shallow pellet.

Third went to Kye Faulkener (Telford) on 53-4-0 at Chestnut 35 and in 4^th was Jess Oliver, on holiday from Leeds, with 46-9-0 at peg 23.

Colin Reynolds second win of the week came from the Middle Pool and fell to corn and pellet again, this time fished to the paddles and in the side. Carp to 8lbs added up to 85-13-0, which gave a narrow margin over the 83-9-0 weighed in by Ken Humphries (Morgans Angling) at Middle peg 9. Ken fished pellet and paste at 4 metres, and had carp to 6lbs.

Third went to Lee Atwell (Kingswinford) who had a Hawthorn best of 78-5-0 and a Stock Pool best of 70-12-0 gave Andy Bayliss-Kyte (Maver Sonubaits) 4^th.

Best weight of the week at Boldings came on Sunday when Shane Rogers (Sonubaits) fished corn and pellet to each side of peg 22 on the Sycamore to just beat the ton mark with 101-8-0.

Right opposite the winner, on peg 33 Phil Rhodes used the same tactics but couldn’t match the catch rate, finishing on 84-8-0. Kelvin Emlyn (Oakengates Ang Cent) led the way on the Ash Pool to finish third overall on 72-9-0, and fourth placed Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun) included 40lbs of bream to 3lbs in his 69-6-0 at Chestnut 38.
