More Maver 'Match This' Qualifying results, this time from Makins Fisheries and Hallcroft Fishery

Makins Fisheries | 30th July, 2011

Fifty three anglers attended this last but one Maver "Match This" qualifier at Makins Fisheries. Conditions on the day were very hot with blazing sun and very little wind.

Winner on the day was Ringer Baits sponsored angler Mark Griffiths. Mark drew peg 5 on Crater lake and alternated between caster, meat and sweetcorn down the inside and meat fished shallow to finish with 117-12-00 of carp, thus securing his place in the Grand Final. As well as qualifying for the £50,000 main event, Mark's winning bag also sees him qualify for the Maver British Pole Championships taking place on 14th August.

Sean Huggins (Dynamite Baits) finished in second place and secures his place in the runner's-up event. Fishing from peg 10, also on Crater, Sean fished meat over a bed of hemp tight to the island at 14m to take 94-12-00 of carp.

Third on the day was Steve Ringer (Guru / Ringer Baits / Dynamite Baits). Steve drew peg 20 on Derwent lake and finished with 89-08-00, just over 5lbs short of booking his place in the runner's up event. However, his 3rd place finish sees him qualify for the Maver British Pole Championships on August 14th at Larford Lakes.
