Most of the match action centre around the River Tees last weekend and the North York south Durham Federation's annual Girsby charity event attracted the region's best turnout with 84 anglers.

The Over Dinsdale match length proved most consistent delivering double figured nets throughout as dace, roach, chub, barbel and grayling offered variety.

Cleveland Angling Centre's Peter Rambow Junior grabbed the honours by a mere 51/2 ozs weighing in 22-8-0. Pegged below Middleton One-Row village Peter alternated between meat and corn on the bomb attracting chub of all sizes from far bank willows.

A couple of lost barbel altered the result for second-placed Ian Hamer fishing Bowl Hole run-off.

The Darlington rod opted for stick float and bomb tactics using caster, maggot and corn on the hook netting a barbel of 6lbs backed by chub and roach.

Other results: Gerry Bowes, Durham (18-10-0); Peter Wadge, Durham (15-14-0); Peter Close, Darlington AC (15-5-0).

Bream continue to delight anglers and on the Lower Tees and Yarm's Dave Rowden included six of his winning bag of 15-11-0 during round three of the summer league.

Tackling his swim below Mourie Wood Dave worked the pole and red maggot at nine metres. Balling ground bait in at the start worked a treat as 65 small roach came in the opening hours before the bream appeared. A change to redworm resulted in a trio of quality perch ensuring victory.

At this stage Cleveland AC B are now firmly in command and top the league table with a maximum 30 points.

Other results: Stewart Bell, CAC A (12-9-0); G Keech, Yarm Flynns (12-6-0); Steve Bell, CAC B (9-13-0).

League: 1 CAC B, 30 points; joint 2nd CAC A, Darlington A 22 points, 4 Yarm Flynns 21, 5 MNS A 19, Darlington B 16.

Match secretary Bobby Trees led another chub dominated Thornaby event on the Middle Tees between Croft and Hurworth.

Trees, below the plantation fence, searched the gulley across on corn and waggler tempting eight similar sized specimens to lift the association's annual cup with 14-5-0.

Next came Charlie Hodgson of Darlington who drew on the groynes and float fished caster, netting chub but of a smaller stamp totalling 13-10-0.

Marske's Trevor Smith stormed to success on the Swale taking Northallerton's Rutson Cup at Scruton recording 31lbs. Float fishing caster in the streams above the village bend four chub responded holding off RSPS anglers Mattie Prudhoe 20lbs 4ozs, and Kevin Weighell 18-2-0.

Other results: North Central League (3) River Nidd, Knaresborough: 1 R Dobie, Ripon, 15-2-0, three barbel bomb and caster; 2 G Moore, Boroughbridge, 9-11-0; 3 A Atkinson, Ripon, 8-3-0.
