Pairs set for 2019 Canal Final battle

With all the qualifiers completed, and some big names in the hat, the 2019 Dynamite backed, Canal Pairs Final is set to be another epic. We look at who lines up for the event. There’s also a chance to win a bundle of canal baits. Scroll down to check out our competition…

56 pairs will line up on the Shropshire Union Canal at Norbury Junction and Little Onn aiming to win the Dynamite Baits canal pairs crown for 2019. Four previous winning pairs including Simon Nickless and Steve Dudley, Dave Edgerley and Kevin Clarke, David Gough and Paul Middleton plus Division two national winning team members, Simon Preece and Simon Mottram line up this year in what will be a battle of epic proportions.

Last year David Gough and Paul Middleton claim and unexpected victory on the Trent & Mersey Canal at Rugeley despite being relatively new to canal match fishing. This year, given the quality of the finalists, the odds will be on another new pair lifting the crown. After, by their own high standards, a disappointing result in the recent national championships, could the Turner Brothers return to winning ways.

Who would bet against the likes of Graham Smith and Lee Newson, Jason Cunningham and Ben Sharratt, Andy Curless and Andy Donnelly or Darren Massey and James South? Or could it be complete outsiders such as Kye Jerrom and Liam Darler who storm to victory. A list of all the finalists is below. Who will you choose? You can watch events unfold on Canal & River Trust Angling Facebook live on Saturday 19 October from 8.00 am.
