The Angling Trust RiverFest qualifier on the River Severn at Bridgnorth on Saturday 20th September proved a tough test for all competitors, and what the competitors needed was just a touch of extra water and bit of colour, nevertheless the match had to produce for the three qualifiers going through to the final.
Winning the match was Mike Fuller with 32 lb 1 oz consisting of 5 pellet caught barbel from peg 16 above the bridge at Linley. Tricasts Dave Roberts on peg 29 had a few pounds of dace to waggler and 4 barbel on feeder to end with 29 lb 10oz, and in third place was Colin Jones ( Larry's lads) also netted 5 barbel to pellet bait at notorious snaggy peg 132 to weigh 26 lb 3 oz.
Further results; Chris Parr (Sensas Thyers) 25 lb 8 oz, Steve Colwell (Sussex) 19 lb 4 oz and Chris Taylor ( Bromsgrove ) 18 lb 9 oz completed the main frame.

Zone a – Mike Fuller

The Angling Trust would like to thank Brian Preece and all the match stewards and Bridgnorth Match Organiser Rosa Bailey for doing all the results.
