BILL Hartland continued his fine form at Fishponds, Colwall, by winning the Malvern United winter contest again.

On a pleasant but cloudy morning, Hartland had a net of bream, perch and a specimen tench of about 5lb to finish the match with 12lb 6oz.

Dave Wilkes had a carp and skimmer bream to weigh in 6-1 for second place.

Just a couple of ounces behind, the third-placed John Shaw had a couple of perch and bream to 5-15 but also lost a good fish while pouring out a cup of tea.

Weights for other places were close with catches of perch, skimmers and golden orfe.

Chris Loveridge managed 4-3, Ian Goddard 4-2, Dave Whittaker 3-9 and Graham Rees 2-1.
