A biennial carp match to raise funds for Cancer Research UK has generated over £9,000, the most in its 14-year history.
In March we reported on the Cast-4-Life charity pairs match which, since being launched in 2012, has now raised an impressive £40k for the charity.
This year, 18 anglers battled it out in a friendly match at Willow Park, Aldershot. The winning pair were Steve Grant and Graham Mabey, who landed 18 fish for a 349lb 9oz total.
The event received great support from across the industry, with its organiser, Vicki Palmer, delighted by how the weekend went.
“I’d like to thank everyone who supported us, and everyone at Willow Park for their hard work,” she said.
“We look forward to the next event in 2028!”
