DEVIZES Kev Rowles led the way yet again in the latest round held on the Upper Thames Angling Times Winter League at the Kennet & Avon at Bedwyn.

His 15lb 11oz proved too good in a match where the skimmers failed to show.

Rowles’ weight edged out Mike Bradley, who also found roach and perch to put 11lb 11oz on the scales.

Third place fell to Kevin Abigail with 10lb 10oz, making it two Devizes anglers in the top three.

Fourth went to Paul Passmoor of Turners T&B, who weighed in 9lb 11oz, while fifth spot went to Martin Price, fishing for Daiwa Gordon League with 9lb 7oz.

Devizes also supplied sixth place with Phil Stone (8lb 15oz) ensuring his side went into the next round with a slender three-point lead over joint second Colmic Talisman and Daiwa Gordon League.

Turners T & B, Swindon Isis and Fox Match South West making up the rest of the table.
