THE Jansons Winter League is boiling up to a thrilling finish on Saturday.

Scott Robinson won the penultimate match with a respectable 49lb 6oz. Reg Barrass, on peg 13, was runner-up with 36lb 4oz.

Freezing overnight temperatures meant ice had to be removed, leaving the water gin clear again.

With one match left, the league table has Robinson and Mark Liwoshko joint first, although Liwoshko has the edge on weight.

Mick Warner saw off the competition in Tuesday's Open, taking 55-8 to the scales from peg 15.

He was closely followed by Gerry Woodcock and Steve Draper from the other side of the lake.

Woodcock is now running the Tuesday opens at Jansons.

Weights at Rycroft continue to reflect the hard work put in by Mark Brooks.

Pete Warren won Saturday's Open with 62lbs of carp to 3lb from Canal 4. Wayne Seewards was second with 36-4 at peg 2.

Only 13 braved the weather for Sunday's Winter League fixture. Chris Pavlou was top man with 30-10 on the Carp Lake. In-form Lee Smith was best on Moat with 18-10.

With one round to go Smith, on nine points, can't be caught. But there is a tight battle for second place between Seewards (18pts), Powers (19pts) and Pavlou (22pts).

Although all lakes were iced over when anglers arrived for the Kobra Open on Lake 4 at Dynamite Baits Makins, it had completely gone by 11.30am.

LEVAS angler Dave Kent (peg 12) landed the first carp at 11am, and after he lost two the shoal moved across the lake to peg 20, where Garbolino-backed Ritchie Hull took four quite quickly on bomb and corn. He only landed one more, but still won the match with 29-14.

Kent finished with three fish for 18-12, all on bomb and corn.

Derek Hartshorne (Swan Baits) was third with 14-12 – two carp on bomb and corn and several roach on pole and caster.

The following day's match, on Lagoon, was fished in a heavy snow storm and only three weighed in.

Dynamite Matchman Supplies-backed Steve Keightley (peg 5) was the only angler who fished the pole in the adverse conditions.

He was rewarded with a bream and three carp, on corn, in a brief spell two hours from the end, all taking corn at 14m, which gave him a winning weight of 11-10.

Kobra Feeders-backed John Adamson (peg 3) took second place with two carp on bomb and corn for 10-8, his first fish after four successive blank matches.

Eddie Keene (peg 15) took third place with two carp for 9-10 on bomb and bread.

Saturday's Tournament League match at Hallcroft was hit by a heavy overnight frost.

But Mansfield's Steve Clark switched between waggler and bomb, with maggot on the hook, for 23-4 of carp and skimmers at Island 7.

Jamie Wilde won a 12-pegger on Croft. He caught carp to 4lb steadily at peg 6 throughout the match, fishing bomb and maggot for 48-14.

Retford's Mark Cordall fished pole, pellet and corn on peg 27 for 25-1 of carp to 3lb. Phil Morgan had a mixed net of tench, small carp and skimmers that proved good enough for third spot.

Arnie Payling chalked up another win in Thursday's vets' match, with 56-0 at Island 10.

He landed carp and skimmers on pole and pellet at 12m.

Sutton's Dave Sewell had carp to 6lb in his 45-4 on pole and pellet at Outer 50, while Don Slaymaker weighed 26-6 of carp on bomb and corn for third.
