       Championships PHOTO SHOTS

Alan Scotthorne
had a double sided battle on day 1
with Italy's
Gianluigi Sorti and Wales's Nigel Evans
finishing 2nd
in zone A.
 
Next day
it was Belgium's
Guido Nullens and Andrea Forni of Switzerland who were seen off.

Top Belgian
Luc Vercammen
won zone B comfortably
on day 1
but had to work harder the
second day
finishing up with
7 points for
5th overall.

Darren Frost
one of 3 Welshmen
in the top 12 individuals
fished a blinder on the 1st day with 5.240kg and
2 points

2nd day
fished very well from
the harder part of the zone to end up with 6 points...

..unlucky not to get amongst  the medals.

Geert Jacobs
the consistant Belgian had a real peg to peg tussle with last years World champ
Walter Tamąs on the 1st day and finished the championships
9th overall.


Although the
team plan was to
fish mainly the
fixed waggler
Wales's Andrew Murphy balls in
on the pole line
just in case...

Andrew finished
11th overall with
9 points.

Individual
World champ in
2004 and 2006
Walter Tamąs could have been forgiven after topping zone C on day 1 for
thinking that
2007 was also
going to be
his year...

....12th place
in zone B on the
2nd day saw his chances
fade.

Scotland's
top man
was Brian Clark
the canny Scot
stuck to his guns
and finished helping
his country to a
respectable top
15th place..

...by their
high standards France had a disastrous year finishing in
17th place

Their top man was
Diego Da Silva  who recovered from a difficult 1st day to win zone E on the 2nd day with 4.500kg.

...now
with a record
40 teams competing
in the World Champs you need a
big venue
.

Tomas
Romera Perez

was Spain's top performer  he bounced back from
a difficult day 1 to
top zone A on the second day with a massive 7.230Kg
the best match weight of the championships.
World Championships
Portugal 2006
results

 

 

One of the
bonus carp
needed to
push your weight up
this one was caught
in practice by Poland's
Piotr Lorenc who finished
the championships with
13+2 points for
23rd place
overall.
With
plenty of fish
at the beginning of the practice week for all, a sudden change of the weather and especially the
falling temperature saw weights fall in the championship weekend.
