The 24th and penultimate Maver Match This qualifier of the year was held on Saturday at Hallcroft Fishery in Retford. With time running out to secure a place in this year’s final, new Middy-sponsored angler, Dale Shepherd, took the opportunity.
According to the Maver Match This Facebook page, Dale won after drawing the favoured peg 6 on Moat Outer. He won the match by a clear margin after tipping the scales at 311lb 6oz. The victory makes it three big-money final appearances out of three for “Bert” who has already appeared in this year’s FishOMania final and has booked his place in September’s Golden Reel final.
