Evesham Angling Festival - Midweek Qualifier

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 12:00:00 +0100

Abu Garcia Wychavon Championship qualifier
Wednesday July 28th
35 pegs

On this latest three hour £500 to-the-winner midweek three hour event WB Clarke team man Steve Pierpoint set his stall out for big fish with swimfeeder and pellets at Peg 28 on the Town Waters.

The gamble paid off when two barbel and a chub took a liking to his pellet hookbait and Steve's final tally of 13-11-0 was well clear of second placed Ray South who was surprised to learn that his modest 5-14-0 return was enough for second and for the qualification place as Steve had already qualified in a previous match.

Third was Nick Young with 5-0-0 of mainly one tench from Peg 15 and zone winners were Gary Seadon and Tony Skinner with 4-3-0 and 3-6-0 of roach respectively.

Qualifier: Ray South

Next matches: July 31st, August 1st, 7th, 8th, 15th, 16th - tickets from Diana Raphael

England Youth U22s scoop Team Bronze and Individual Silver

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 12:00:00 +0100

England Youth U22s scoop Team Bronze and Individual Silver at World Championships.

The England Youth U22s were well represented in this year’s World Championships in Mantova, Italy on 24th & 25th July, scooping team Bronze, with Matt Godfrey taking the Individual Silver. The venue was technically very difficult and the correct balance between big carp, catfish and bream had to be found, with the big shoals of small skimmer bream averaging just 15g each.

Day 1 saw a great team effort amassing a 12 total with Matt Godfrey winning his section with a staggering 260 fish for 4.95 Kg, 100 more fish than anyone else in the field. Seconds came from Matt Derry and Callum Dicks, and a 6th from Ricky Hines, who drew the wrong end of the end section. These performances helped us into second place and 2 points behind Serbia, whose big fish approach worked well.

Day 2 saw a controversial start when it became clear that France, Serbia, England and Holland, the top 4 teams, were all on adjacent pegs in every section, leaving Italy in the other half of the section with none of the main contenders to compete against. They made the most of it, scoring just 7 pts for a winning total of 22 pts.

Team England came in with another great 13pts, Matt Godfrey 2, Cameron Hughes 2, Matt Derry 4, Callum Dicks 5 for 25, tying with Serbia and Slovenia, but being beaten by Serbia by 900g. We were 3Kg ahead of Slovenia.

Matt Godfrey scooped silver with 3 points but was beaten by Dutchman, Sjors Milder on the same 3 pts, but with a 500 g weight advantage.

Mark Downes, England U22s Manager said “All in all a great result for the team, and with just a little luck we could have done a memorable double.”

Dick Clegg, OBE, International Events Manager stated “Once more England has proven at all levels that they are the team to beat in World Angling. By finishing 3rd in the U22s and with the ever consistent Matt Godfrey adding another medal to his trophy cabinet, we can all be proud of their achievements”.

England U18s team finished 6th at this year's World Championships on Canale Fissero Tartaro in Mantova, Italy in one of the closest finishes for years. Unluckily, England did not draw one of the eight end pegs available over the weekend, which had a huge influence on the final result.

Fishing the whole week in 35 to 40 degrees heat, this year's very young team proved themselves to be very efficient anglers drawing with Italy on points but losing out on weight. A total of 17 teams fished the Championships with Portugal winning the Gold medal with 29pts.
