Not one of the best days on the weather front, little hard going for most people but done what they could.
Congratualtions to Andy Leathers on catching a superb weight of 154lb 15oz from the Match Lake peg 30 and qualifying for this years final. Andy caught from peg 30 on the Match Lake catching half his fish down his right hand edge on chopped worm and caster. He then caught well to his left on Maggot. Andy had fish all the way through the match.
It's Andy's first ever qualfier he's fished and he got in on a reserve ticket!!
