Drennan ace qualifies for two big finals in as many days. Drennan rod, Dan Varney has enjoyed a weekend to remember, after qualifying for both the Evesham Championship, and the Wychavon Championship finals in successive matches. Even more remarkably, Dan did so from the same peg!After finishing second in the 83-peg Evesham Championship qualifier on Saturday, Dan drew the same number for Sunday's match, Peg 36 below the mouth of the River Isbourne. This time he went one better than his previous day’s performance, however, winning the match with an 11-5-0 net of chub, chublets and perch.
MAS rod banks four bream for Evesham glory. MAS rod Vince Callaghan took top spot in the first Evesham Championship qualifying match of the season, after drawing the fancied end Peg 1 at the top of the Crown Meadow. Vince of Windsor, Berkshire, adopted a positive approach throwing in 10 balls of groundbait on his pole line and fishing worms and maggots over the top. He tempted four good bream, plus a host of smaller fish for a 17-14-0 total.
River legend, Paul Glenfield books his place in Wychavon Final. Oxford-based river ace, and Match Fishing regular, Paul Glenfield has booked his place in the Wychavon Final after winning the first Evesham Festival qualifying match of the year. With the river carrying a tinge of extra colour and a healthy pace, the Warwickshire Avon threw up some very pleasing weights. Paul caught three bream, and around 5lb of smaller skimmers and perch on chopped worm tactics from Peg 1 at the top of the Crown Meadow.

June 14thand 15th saw the European Feeder Championships take place on the Gent to Terneuzen Canal in Holland. In an effort to equal their previous best, three teams from England entered the two-day 23-team, 115 angler European Feeder Challenge. Held on the Gent to Terneuzen Canal, Holland, they returned with respectable overall team positions – second, fourth and fifth along with a collection of individual silverware, too.
While they all missed out on team gold this year to Belgium team – Mega Fish T – it was Team GURU, partially consisting of full international team members Steve Ringer, Phil Ringer and Dean Barlow along with Feeder International fringe anglers Rob Wootton and Adam Rooney completing the five-man strong outfit, who took the second team spot with 61 points behind Mega Fish T’s tally of 52.
