ILMINSTER AA members returned some excellent weights in round five of the Royal Oak winter league on the river on Sunday.
The weather was mild although the anglers had to suffer odd showers of rain.
The winner was Jamie Rich (Against Men and Fish) with a lovely net of roach, dace and gudgeon weighing 19lb 14oz from peg 128.
Runner-up was Bruce Hunt (Tiverton) with 14lb 4oz of quality roach, dace and chublets from peg 129.
Third was Robin Cox (Ilminster) with another good net of fish weighing 12lb 10oz from peg 126.
Rich heads the leaderboard with five points followed by Hunt and Cox, both on seven.
The next match is on January 5 with the draw at the Royal Oak between 8.30am and 9am.
