by Martyn Russ

With yet another round of qualifying matches completed and some of the best anglers in south wales managing to get through to the final the scene was set for another brilliant fishing competition again this year. Just as before each qualifier was fished at different venues around south Wales and the winning pair from each venue then went through to the final.

With the qualifiers starting off so well and the competition being so close we were expecting an active and close competition. Although we didn't see as many carp on the banks as we would have liked to there was still some beautiful fish caught and the competition was close from the very start. The competition was tight and really there was only 2 fish in it. As they entered the final day the standings were:

Matthew & Gareth Gronow 45lb
Anthony Jones & Mark Dickinson 26lb 4oz
Harry Wakeling & Andrew Tucker 23lb

Although all the lads that entered the final are all winners in our eyes there could be only one champion couple and that went to Matthew & Gareth Gronow who again are crowned Welsh Carp Champions for a second year running. Well done lads.
