TOM Hawker won the fourth round of Malvern Angling Club's Sandford Cup midweek series fished on the Severn at Hanley Castle.

Tom had an excellent bag of fish caught on the feeder including two barbel, one over 6lbs, to weigh in 10lb 14oz. Club treasurer John Shaw came second taking a nice bag of small fish, fishing the inside with a block end feeder, weighing in 4lb 10oz. Paul Bick was third, doing well to weigh in 3lb 10oz of bleak after a biteless first hour on the feeder.

The league positions could not be closer with Steve Davies and Paul Bick tying in first place with 15 points each. Ian Goddard in second place with 11 points and John Shaw third with nine points.

The next club contest is the Saturday scramble fished on the Avon at Birlingham, draw 3pm.
