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 Tamàs, 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 Tamàs, 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.
|
 |
|
|
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.
