Wychavon Championship Qualifier
Evesham Town And Ferry Waters
Saturday 9th August 2014
65 Fished
Despite a little rain, the river wasn’t far from its usual level and pace on Saturday, but with the big storm approaching and lots of pressure changes, the match proved to be very difficult. Leading the pack was Evesham’s Paul Jackson, who took 6-12-0 of perch and eels, as well as a bonus chub from in-form peg 52. It was a combination of pole and feeder tactics with bronze maggots, chopped worm and casters that scored on the day. Close behind was Alcester Sports Steve Hemming. Drawn on peg 24, it was maggot feeder tactics cast towards the underwater weeds on the far bank that accounted for his 6-6-0 net of perch and eels. A similar ploy helped Brian Powell into third place from peg 45 with 6-2-0, while a pole caught tench pushed Gloucester’s Tony Davis into fourth place on peg 72 with 5-11-0.
Result:
1 Paul Jackson (Evesham) 6-12-0 (Peg 52)
2 Steve Hemming (Alcester Sports) 6-6-0 (Peg 24)
3 Brian Powell (Evesham) 6-2-0 (Peg 45)
4 Tony Davis (Gloucester) 5-11-0 (Peg 72)
5 Kevin Ellaby 5-0-0 (Peg 10)
