Lake View: Greenbury nets two wins in a week

Middy final qualifier Ben Sharp EMN-161213-164210002

Jason Farmery and Ben Sharp (pictured) last week became the latest anglers to qualify for next year's Middy Autumn/Winter series final.

A haul of just 9lb 12oz was good enough for Farmery who finished fourth at last Wednesday’s match, while Sharp finished as runner-up on Saturday with a decent catch of more than 65lb.

It was a bumper week for Brian Greenbury, however, who topped Wednesday’s qualifier with an impressive 63lb, just one of two anglers to exceed 11lb on the day.

He then went on to win Sunday’s open match with 35lb 4oz, just two pounds ahead of his brother Bob.
