While the Maver Match This campaign edges towards its climax, another name has been added to the Grand Final line-up. On Wednesday, 23rd July, Messingham Sands Fishery played host to a hotly contested qualifier. Ryan Bennett came out on top to secure his spot in this year’s big-money final.
Drawn on peg 38 on Swan Lake, Ryan put in a dominant display, finishing the match with a stunning 306lb 3oz. This formidable weight was enough to comfortably see off a strong field and book his ticket to Hayfield Lakes for the Grand Final. The match was fished in excellent conditions, with the prolific Messingham Sands venue producing impressive catches across the board. However, Ryan’s all-round performance proved unmatched on the day.
Congratulations to Ryan Bennett now joins a stacked list of anglers already confirmed for the Maver Match This Grand Final, including top names such as Jamie Hughes, Andy Power, James Howarth, and Sam Brown. With just four qualifiers left in the 2025 campaign, the race for the remaining places is heating up.
