I had over 50lb on the feeder and the rest down the edge. It was a bit of a tug of war and lost a few creatures, but thankfully did enough. I thought I\u2019d got about 80-90lb, so they\u2019ve been a lot chunkier than I realised. Oh, and the weather forecast said no rain\u2026 so of course it bucketed down! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Really happy to come 3rd overall and get a nice \u00a31,000 cheque. I actually tied on points with Alex Docherty but 6kg less weight, so it was rather close! A big well done to him for runner up and Steven Forster for being crowned the 2022 UK Champion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/uk-champs-2022-top-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/uk-champs-2022-top-3-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5039\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/uk-champs-2022-top-3-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/uk-champs-2022-top-3-768x572.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/uk-champs-2022-top-3.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I nearly forgot to mention David Wood who was runaway winner on the day, making no mistakes off boss end peg 124 with over 280lb. I must also say a massive thanks to Andy Kinder and his team for running the event under difficult circumstances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After I had to miss last year\u2019s event it\u2019s nice to return and get a top-three finish in a competition that\u2019s always meant a lot to me.
