There was an eye-catching end to the long and well-supported Leeds summer league on the River Aire at Beal.

The fact Denis White took the title by an impressive 20-point margin after a super series raised few eyebrows but the nature of Wayne Cowban's final round win certainly did.

Just 45 minutes into the match a big pull on his tip heralded a battle with an 11lb 14oz carp, which finally hit the bottom of his net.

The carp was enough to win the day on its own but he followed it with a trio of decent perch, also on chopped worm, to register 13lb 14oz.

White filled second place with 8lb 5oz of roach taken on pole and maggot at peg 26.

Result: 1 Wayne Cowban, Hirst Tackle, 13-14-0; 2 Denis White, Maver Barnsley, 8-5-0; 3 Stan Haigh, Angler's World Holidays, 7-10-0; 4 John Allerton, Selby, 7-8-0; 5 Jim Jordan, Leeds, 7-7-0; 6 Dean Grace, Pontefract, 7-3-0.

Final League: 1 Denis White, Maver Barnsley, 96pts; 2 John Cyrowski, Barlby Village Stores, 76; 3 Ian Bates, Hirst Tackle, 75; 4 Trevor Hewitt, Sensas Wibsey, 67.

After a difficult match last week at Oaktree Leisure, Sunday's contest was switched to Pond One where the fish proved much more responsive.

Mike Babb took the honours with 81lb 4oz off peg 48 which, luckily for him, was the day's Bonus Peg.

Babb's win came via a nice mix of bream, carp and silver fish taken on pellet fished at 12 metres.

Leading the rest with a carp-dominated 66lb 4oz was Tony Greaves, who used the same approach at peg 35.

Result: 1 Mike Babb, Real Deal Tackle, 81-4-0; 2 Tony Greaves, Oak Tree Leisure, 66-4-0; 3 Mark Linley, Oak Tree Leisure, 64-10-0; 4 Richard Cook, Acomb Tackle, 54-4-0; 5 Steve Hodson, RSPS Tekneek Trabucco, 51-4-0; 6 Chris Robinson, Acomb Tackle, 47-12-0.

The latest Amalgamation veterans' match at Laybourne Lakes saw Pete Webster top the under-70s event with 41lb 12oz ahead of Mick Dodd, who netted 22lb.

In the over-70s section it was Wilf Dodd who led the way with his level 30lb which saw off the challenge of Pete Lowson, who finished the day with 21lb 8oz
