        Albutt Defies The Odds In Uk Champs

        The final round of the Preston Innovations backed UK Angling Championship saw a shock as Midlander Grant Albutt stole the prestigious UK Champs title from under the noses of long odds-on favourites Pete Bailey and Darren Cox.
        The pair had a three and four point advantage respectively going into the last round at Barston Lakes. But both of them crashed out, allowing Halesowen rod Grant to take the second big match win of his match career, following his 2009 Parkdean Masters triumph.
        In fact Grant only had to finish joint top of his section with Kieran Rich with 19.4 kilos to claim the title and £4000 winner’s cheque, with Paul Hillier coming through for second thanks to his highest total tournament weight 500lb. Darren Cox tied with Paul on 11 points, but finished third overall.

          Well done Nige for running a cracking 4 matches mate. The organisation is a credit to yourself, mark and the sky lads.

          If next year is as good then i can’t wait!

          Well done on ‘qualifying’ in the top 40 as well…….although you’d have fished anyway wouldn’t you? lolol
