The annual Christmas Match at Century Ponds saw 10 anglers compete for the George Bingham Shield in cold, calm conditions which affected the sport considerably. Ian Tucker took the honours with a last-minute solitary Carp weighing in at 11lb 12oz from peg 6.

Runner-up was Warren Bates with a bag of Roach for 3lb 6oz from peg 9. In third spot was Keith Pope with a 2lb 2oz catch of Roach from peg 13. Six anglers caught. Prizes were kindly donated by Scott's Tackle, Veals Of Bristol and Antbait. Thanks to George Clark for running the Match and to all anglers for entering.

The fourth All-Night Carp Match was fished on the night of the first heavy frost of the year, with temperatures falling below zero as 9 intrepid anglers battled each other and the cold. Shaun Porter took the top spot for the second Match running with a monster haul of 72lb 5oz from peg 8, comprised of 8 fish.

George Clark once again came second with 47lb 13oz from peg 3 in addition to landing the biggest fish of the night, a 16lb 1oz Mirror Carp. Third place was Andrew Reis with a solitary 10lb 10oz fish. Five anglers blanked (hardly surprising considering the temperature drop).

Thanks to George Clark for running the Match - he managed to lose 1 fish and missed another 3 whilst weighing other competitor's fish.

The third All-Night Carp Match saw much better returns with 29 Carp landed for a total weight of just under 300lb. Shaun Porter banked 53lb 2oz from peg 1 to take top spot, with George Clark (45lb 10oz) winning the closely-fought battle for second place ahead of Sonny Hacker (44lb 14oz).

Prizes were donated by Scott's Tackle and Veals Of Bristol. Many thanks. All in all, a successful contest with much fun and food had by everyone! Thanks to George Clark and John Heys for running the Match.

The second All-Night Carp Match saw Martin Coombes take the honours with 28lb 5oz. A lack of breeze and ripple meant the Carp were reluctant to feed, hence the low weights compared to the first Match.

Craig Clark took the honours in this trial Night Match with a fine Carp haul of 62lb 14oz. Anglers fished from 4pm to 6am on a 'lock-in' basis.

Another healthy turn out of anglers saw Adam Denham take the honours after landing a 12lb carp from peg 5 on the Old Pond at Century.

The fish failed to show in numbers for most anglers at Century Island Pond. Martyn Smith won the contest with a fine 11lb 2oz bag of Skimmers from peg 16, caught on a pole-fished bait near the island.

Adam Smith was runner-up with a fine Perch of 1lb 6oz from peg 25, with Jason Allen third with a solitary quarter ounce Perch from peg 20. Ten fished.
