Phil Briscoe, Maver (UK) Managing Director, has once again guaranteed that the winner of this year’s ‘Match This’ final at Larford Lakes on 01 September will take home a minimum of £50,000.

However, in addition to this, Phil has announced that, providing ticket sales for the 2012 event allow, the competition will also aim to pay out second and third placed so that the competition will no longer be a winner takes all event with the intention to pay second place £5,000 and third place £3,000 on the day (subject to change).

Phil commented:

“We have taken on board all comments following the 2011 final but soon came across the same constructive criticism from a broad range of anglers who were of the opinion that this year’s competition would be even better if a structured payout was implemented.

In light of this general consensus we at Maver felt it was only fair to respond to this request and provide yet more incentive for anglers to enter this prestigious event in 2012.

By offering anglers a greater opportunity to walk away from this year’s final with a considerable financial reward we hope the competition will appeal to more anglers and ensure the event is even bigger and better this year”.
