WHO WILL LIFT THE SUPERCUP IN 2019?
The hunt is on for the best club side in Britain - and there’s still time to enter
ENTRIES are now open for the 2019 Angling Times/Bait-Tech Supercup – Britain’s biggest and best club team fishing event – and this week sees your team get the chance to play its part in this prestigious competition.
Detailed below is all you need to know about the Supercup, as well as relevant contact details for any queries and that all-important entry form – good luck!
HOW SUPERCUP WORKS
Supercup is open to all club, fishery, tackle shop and match group sides.
The opening two rounds are fished through spring and early summer, with teams drawn out of a hat to decide each tie.
These six-a-side matches are to be fished on dates set by Angling Times, on venues of the homedrawn side’s choice. Win through these two matches and you’re in the regional semi-final – and if you finish in the top five of that special match the final beckons.
HOW TO ENTER
To begin with, teams must be registered to the Angling Times/ Bait-Tech scheme. Don’t panic if you’re not, it’s free to do and all it takes is a phone call to 01733 395109 to get on board.
If you have fished the Supercup in any of the previous years, then you are already signed up so there’s no need to call! Once you’re in, send the entry form (right) to the Angling Times address on the form along with your entry fee and squad sheet of anglers wanting to fish. This list MUST have a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 20 names.
All entries MUST be received by Tuesday, February 19 to go into the draw for the first round, which will be published in the Tuesday, March 5 issue of Angling Times.
A full list of rules is available online at www.anglingtimes.co.uk
All it costs to enter is £30 and this can be paid via cheque or Postal Order. All you’ll have to pay from then on are the pools for each match you fish.
