Alan Scotthorne bags his third Wychavon title, from the same peg he won the match from in 2012! Five Times World Champion Alan Scotthorne has won his fourth Wychavon Championship from the same peg he last won the event from back in 2012. He told Match Fishing: “When I stuck my hand in the draw bag, and came out with Peg 46 I couldn’t quite believe it. I actually drew this very same peg in this very same match back in 2012, when I won the Wycvhavon Championship with 23-7-0 of skimmers – which actually set a new festival record at the time. This record only lasted 24 hours, as it happened, as Martyn Howard set another festival record with 39-12-0 of barbel the following day! “For me, that Wychavon Final two years ago was all about catching skimmers, and I managed a lovely run of quality fish by running a bloodworm and a pinkie over a bed of groundbait and joker.

Daiwa Dorking have added the 2016 Match Fishing Team Championship to their extensive list of achievements… Daiwa Dorking have won the Match Fishing Team Championship on the Warwickshire Avon at Evesham in emphatic style. Team stalwart, and England International Will Raison explained: “Young Bradley Gibbons did us a grand job at the draw this morning, and pulled us out a great set of pegs – which is always a big help in a match like this! “Fortunately, we have a brilliant set of anglers too, and although we talked things through in some detail it was very much a case of leaving our anglers to fish their pegs as they saw fit. “In the first two sections, Simon Willsmore put together a cracking net of roach from Peg 6 and Michael Buchwalder did well to scratch very good points from Peg 20. I had a lovely day’s waggler fishing on Peg 35 and managed a nice net of chub, and Lee Edwards and Darren Davies did really well in the bottom two sections – so fortunately what we did paid off.

Denis White wins with barbel. In what must rank as one of the closest finishes of any match this season, just a single ounce separated the top two in this years Veterans' Championship, and 13oz came between first place and third. Making the match even more interesting was the fact that each of the anglers in the top five boasted a barbel in their net, the biggest belonging to match winner, and Barnsley Blacks legend, Denis White. Drawn on Peg 30, Denis based his match around catching roach on hempseed, but when his plan didn't materialise, he knew he had to have a look for a bonus fish in the later stages of the day.
