A cold week but the temperature shot up for Don McKinness when he banked this Stanwick 37-12

Fishing the 180 peg prestige match on a ‘big’ canal in Hungary, he won his section on day-one and made second-in-section on day two.

That gave him three points – a score shared with four others...and he finished up fourth overall on weight, with his Diawa team fifth from 36.
