The Results Are In
England seven points clear of second place.
The World Championship in Poland has got off to a great start for Drennan Team England. The official result sheet shows that the team are seven points clear of second placed Poland on 14 points.
Interestingly, the recorded fish count shows England have today recorded 570 fish, their closest rival being Poland on 295.
England team member, and current World Champion, Sean Ashby said: "We can only hope that tomorrow goes as well as today. A steady team performance tomorrow should see us with a great chance of a medal - but we are all experienced enough to know just how changeable canals like this can be. If we can keep calm, and keep and open mind, we have a good chance of doing well."
England Team co manager, Mark Downes added: "I am obviously delighted with the first day result. To be honest, the venue chosen this year has made a nice change for us, as the last few years we have been fishing for species that we aren't use to catching in the UK.
This years venue has been very much like an English deep canal, and targetting roach and perch on this kind of venue is more like familiar territory for us. This has meant we have had two weeks to refine our tactics, rather than having to learn how to target species that are new to us."
The results board shows Wales are 12th with 39 points, Scotland are 20th with 52 points, Ireland 29th with 64 points and the Channel island 26th with 61 points.
No official individual ranking has been supplied yet, but with section wins for Sean Ashby, Steve Hemingray, Will Raison and Alan Scotthorne our anglers have a great chance of individual, as well as team glory.
Coverage of the final day will start from 9am tomorrow on www.matchfishingmagazine.com.
