Yesterday saw the 9th Maver Match This qualifier was held at Partridge Lakes in Warrington. The match saw 59 anglers compete across Coveys 1 to 6 for the opportunity to fish in this year’s Grand Final. In an extremely close match, only 10oz separated the top two.
Fishing from peg 128 on Covey 5, Jack Williams claimed a razor-tight victory with 124lb 14oz, narrowly finishing ahead of second-placed Jamie Cowling with 124lb 4oz, who pushed him all the way from peg 15. The win earns Jack the ninth golden ticket of the campaign and secures his place in one of the biggest finals on the match fishing calendar.
The event produced a string of top weights despite testing conditions. Jordan Holloway took third with 117lb 2oz from peg 65, while Jamie Hughes continued his consistent form to finish fourth with 109lb from peg 42.
Congratulations to Jack Williams, who now joins an elite group of 2025 Grand Final qualifiers. The current list of Maver Match This 2025 finalists is below:
