Drennan Barnsley Blacks prac­tising hard on the River Sava in Slovenia.
The tal­ented squad have been prac­tising hard and with anglers of the cal­ibre of Alan Scotthorne, Lee Kerry, Sam Wildsmith, James Dent, James Brooks and Matt Godfrey all involved, they must rank as one of the favour­ites to win. Four of the squad also already have match exper­i­ence on the venue.

The two-day event is on the River Sava in Rade[ch269]e, Slovenia, with the main target being vimba. These average 3oz to 6oz and are like a cross between a dace and a roach and feed on the bottom like barbel.

Captain Glen Lawrence was quite upbeat about his team’s prospects:

“We’ve had some really good days prac­tising off the match length with lots of small vimba and weights up to 10kg. We are now quite pleased to find out this week that the offi­cial match length is actu­ally very sim­ilar, so we’ve con­tinued to do well.

“Some sec­tions are sur­pris­ingly deep. For instance, yes­terday it was a full 10 metres deep 13 metres out – a proper bot­tom­less pit! We have all still caught in these depths, though. It is now get­ting a little bit harder each day with average weights of about 5kg. A few bonus fish have also started to show, how­ever, which could make things interesting.

“We are quietly con­fident and seem to be doing quite well com­pared to the other teams prac­tising around us, which is a good sign. The Hungarians are also doing very well and will def­in­itely be hard to beat. The French also seem to be a team to watch out for, along with the home nation, Slovenia.

“There are some very good teams involved but we will hope­fully give it our best shot and hold our own!”
