Williams stars at Tydd Gote Angling Club-hosted Mega Mania event

Sunday saw Tydd Gote Angling Club host the prestigious Mega Mania final.

He was followed by venue expert Archie Greenwood on 29 with a lovely net of roach totalling 5lb 4oz.

Andrew Kilby, on 23, and last year’s winner John Bates at the far end on 34 fought it out for third and fourth with Kilby just edging it with 3lb 10oz to 3lb 9oz.

Section winners: A Section – Andrew Lawrence 2lb 8oz; B Section – Steve Borrett 1lb 15oz; C Section – Colin Gibbons 1lb 13oz.

  • Wednesday result (Main Road) – 1st Dennis Houghton 5lb 1oz; 2nd John Taylor 4lb 6oz; 3rd Darren Williams 3lb 3oz.
