PENNY Turner had one carp early in Braintree and Bocking Angling Society's Friday match at Notley but then had to play a waiting game until the last hour, when three more gave her a match-winning total.

With silver fish not feeding very well, competitors targeted the carp and Turner won with a weight of 19-12-8.

Sections (excluding winner): 1 P Thompson 13-7-0, 2 J Daniels 17-10-0.

Notley was also the venue on Sunday when Bernard Huxter landed four carp and also three F1s, which proved vital, as his carp were on the small side and he had a total of 24-13-0 to win the match.

Pete Thompson had five carp, but only a few silvers and just fell short of the winner's weight to take second with 23-8-0.

John Daniels had a hectic last hour to land four carp for 17-3-0 and third spot.
