Hi Mark

Don’t quote me on this but I was told yesterdays match was won with 1 huge barbel and some bits for 14lbs!

2nd was 1 barbel of 12lb.

9lb of chub was 3rd.

Today was won with 6lb of roach on hemp with 4lb framing.

Abu Garcia/ Wychavon Qualifier
Saturday June 25th
78 Fished

Two of the River Avon’s famous Evesham barbel formed the bulk of the top two weights, with one of the fish being the very same specimen that helped Steve Ashmore bag top prize in last years final! Distinguishable by its slightly damaged tail, the 12lb monster fell to Kevin Millards bomb and pellet approach on peg 31.
It wasn’t quite heavy enough to beat Richie Tomala’s 14-00 weight from the next peg however, which also included a double figure barbel along with a few waggler caught chublets. Richie again tempted his barbel on bomb and pellet thrown a third of the way across the river.
In third place was ever consistent Tony Bench on peg six, whose net of waggler and stick float caught chublets went 9-6-0. Fourth placed Ian Didcote caught small fish on the waggler backed up with several eels taken on the flat float from end peg 80. In fifth place was Tom Scholey with a 6-11-0 net of waggler caught perch from peg 35.
Encouragingly, there were several section winning nets of small fish caught along the length, and most anglers enjoyed a good days fishing with no shortage of bites.

Result:

1 Richie Tomala 14-0-0 (peg 30)
2 Kevin Millard 12-2-0 (peg 31)
3 Tony Bench 9-6-0 (peg 6)
4 Ian Didcote 7-4-8 (peg 80)
5 Tom Scholey 6-11-0 (peg 35)
6 Andy Murphy 6-6-0 (peg 11)
7 Dave Harpen 5-15-0 (peg 65)
8 Rob Perkins 5-7-8 (peg 24)

Qualifiers:

Shakespeare Qualifier
Sunday June 26th
79 Fished

Just half an ounce separated the top two weights in what turned out to be a challenging match for many anglers in bright, hot conditions. Paul Jackson had the top weight on the day, with a 6-5-0 net from peg two. Paul caught small chub early on the waggler, before going on his long pole line and catching eels and perch on a flat float fished with chopped worms and casters.
Runner up Steve Royle caught quality roach on hempseed, along with a bonus 1lb perch on the feeder. Steve opted to fish his hemp line down his peg at 11 metres, and took most of his fish in the last two hours of the match.
A 4lb tench coupled with a brace of eels on the long pole helped Paul Norledg take third place from peg 14. Paul fed chopped worms and casters through a bait dropper, and caught his tench on half a dendrabhena worm.
Eels also formed the bulk of the fourth and fifth placed catches. Former champion Rob South filled fourth spot and again qualified for the final from peg 69, with a net which included a 2lb eel taken just seconds before the end of the match! Tom Scholey filled the last frame place with a 4-4-0 net of eels from peg 61.

Result:
1 Paul Jackson 6-5-0 (Peg 2)
2 Steve Royle 6-4-8 (peg 20)
3 Paul Norledg 5-14-0 (peg 14)
