Wednesday August 25th, 2010 – Warwickshire Avon – Evesham Town Waters and Hampton Ferry – 70 pegs

Wright approach takes title!

The river was carrying about six inches of extra water and a fair bit of colour for this match which was won by Long Eaton Victoria team man Alan Wright.

A former National champion, Alan secured victory by a very slender margin with 7-15-0, made up of 17 skimmers and a few perch caught on short pole and stick float tactics with maggot hookbait from Peg 46 on the White House bend. The catch earned him the £500 top prize, a crystal glass trophy and a Shakespeare float rod. He also won a place in the big Shakespeare Championship final on August 28th for a shot at the £6,000 top prize.
