Exciting New Team Event Announced!
Top name sponsors for new winter event.
An exciting new team fishing competition has been announced, that will start in the winter of 2013. The brainchild of Sam Wildsmith, and Angling News Week Editor, Tom Scholey, the league will see 12 teams of six compete over a four match series.
Sam explained: “For a few years now, I have felt that there is room for a new team fishing competition through the winter months – and after talking with Tom we decided to get together and make it happen.
Fortunately, a couple of our friends in the trade have also agreed to get behind it – so alongside the £500 sponsorship that I will be putting in through my shop, Mill Tackle, we have secured backing from Ricky Teale at Matrix, and Jan Van Schendel at Van Den Eydne.”
With 12 teams of six taking part, the competition will take in four different venues, starting on Saturday November 2nd at Hayfield Lakes near Doncaster. The second round will take place on Saturday December 7th on Lincolnshire’s Fossdyke Navigation, before moving to the Stainforth and Keadby Canal at Thorne on Saturday January 11th. The final round and presentation will take place at Woodland View Fishery near Droitwich on Saturday February 8th.
Sam went on: “All of the matches will be four hours in length, and fished to CIPS rules – meaning a 13 metre pole limit, and bait limits will be in place. In keeping with the international flavour of the event, carp will not count on any round. The overall result will decided on section points – with the winning team collecting somewhere between £1,500 and £2,000, depending on turn out. There will also be a £25 pool on each of the matches, meaning there will be good money to be won on each round as well”
Entry is strictly on a first come first served basis, with teams needing to send a cheque for £300 to cover entry to:
Sam Wildsmith
Mill Tackle
84-86 Mansfield Road
Heanor
Derbyshire
DE75 7AQ
