ANGLING duo Luke Church and Wayne Rees will fly the flag for West Norfolk next weekend at the final of the British Carp Angling Championships.
The duo will be chasing the coveted title and a first prize of £10,000 at Broadlands, in Hampshire, after making it through to the final 14 pairs out of an original 216.
Making the 48-hour final is a huge achievement in itself, with the pair having to come through an eliminator round and a semi-final to book their place at Broadlands.
Church and Rees won their 48-hour eliminator at Pool Bridge Farm, in York, with a weight of 107lbs 6oz – some 60lbs ahead of their rivals.
With the top seven pairs from the semi-final making it through, the pair finished sixth at Barston Lakes in the Midlands with a weight of 281lb 8oz using 25kg of boilie.
The duo have been kindly sponsored by Anglers Corner, in Windsor Road, for the final after Simon Bush and Martin Allen heard about their exploits.
Luke and Wayne said: “We’d like to thank Anglers Corner for the support they have provided us for the final.
“This has been a huge help as we prepare for the event, which is like the Premiership in fishing terms.”
