A full report from the Dynamite backed Lindholme Lakes Festival and Champion of Champions match

Team Dynamite had something to smile about last week after some fantastic results in the two-day event and Champions match in Yorkshire.

 

Some of the sport’s biggest names were in attendance in a class field at Lindholme, an event which saw plenty of fair weather and some fantastic catches as well as nail-biting finishes. In the end weight countbacks were needed all the way down the leaderboard with several anglers finishing level on points.

Both Matty Pillay and Les Marshall finished in the frame after two days, pushing overall winner Matty Dawes all the way. Meanwhile Dynamite’s Ben Fisk also finished high up in the Champion of Champions match on Sunday behind winner Dale Shepherd.

The two-day festival, fished across lakes such as Bennys and Bonsai, saw some good weights recorded no less so than from Les Marshall who ended up with a massive 323lb of fish across the two days. Les managed two perfect section wins to finish level on points with winner Dawes but was pushed into second place on weight countback. Meanwhile Matty landed sixth place in the festival with 279lb, finishing ahead of a whole gaggle of anglers on five points overall due to weight countback. Lastly Paul Wright also finished in the top 10 with 5 points and a weight of 225lb 2oz.
