Maver Image team Captain, Steve Clark, is already looking ahead to this year's big events after the team achieved a number of accolades in 2011.
Last year, Steve and his men secured top ten finishes in both the Angling Trust Division One National Championships and the World Club Fish Off and won the Angling Trust Eastern Region Shield.
Individual success also saw Gary Miller win Match Fishing's Drennan Knockout Cup beating Preston's Lee Kerry in the final at Docklow pools.
However, despite their success, Steve is making changes to last years squad. 

Former Kamasan Matchman Of The Year, Jamie Hughes (Maver Bag 'Em Baits), is making a late and determined charge in the Kamasan table.
Jamie had a fantastic weekend picking up a win in the second round of the Heronbrook Individual Winter League, fished on all pools (except for the Match Lake).
With much of the venue being frozen over, the match very nearly did not go ahead, but thankfully for Jamie, it did! Jamie drew in a sheltered area on peg 9 on the Canal pool where he fished pellet over depth to net six carp up to 7lb plus as well as good-sized F1s to 2lb to weigh in a winning weight of 82-08-00 making it two wins out of two in this event.

Maver Gold is an additional squad that has recently formed from the Maver West Midlands Police team. The team is made up of both inexperienced but promising youth anglers and experienced match anglers that, together, cover a wide variety of angling disciplines including rivers, commercials and canals.
The team, although only recently formed, has already stamped its authority within the Midlands match fishing circuit finishing runner-up in the Heronbrook winter league.

The Maver Bait-Tech squad is currently enjoying a fantastic run of form with individual anglers securing victories across a number of competitions.
In addition to Wayne Swinscoe's huge roach catch at the beginning of the month on the opening round of the Bourne Winter League, Alistair Ogilvy (who is currently 5th in the Kamasan Matchman Of The Year) is another fine example of a Bait-Tech angler in form. Alistair secured victory as part of the final winter league practice match on the Grand Union Canal at Milton Keynes, weighing 8lb plus of roach and perch caught on bloodworm and bread punch. A week later, he won the big Christmas Open at March on the old Nene with 11lb 10oz of roach on bread punch.
Colleague, Chris Jenkinson, has also secured victory in the latest round of the Fosdyke League with 20lb of roach on bread punch. The following day, he framed with 11lb of roach and rudd on the first round of the Hajac League on Ravely Drain, Ramsey.

Round 2 of the Larford Lakes Winter League took place on Saturday 28th January.
After making a great start in round 1, both team Garbolino and Match Fishing Scene continued their pursuit of an automatic "Match This" team championship place with another fine display of team angling.

The Sensas Commercial House Winter League has now finished with Maver Bathampton's two teams occupying two of the top three spots.
The last round was fished on the Kennet and Avon canal with Maver Bathampton (red) finishing in joint top spot on the day alongside Preston Thatchers, who won the league overall just 2 points ahead of the Maver boys.
Maver Bathampton (red) secured individual honours on the day, however, with Nathan Hawke weighing in 07-08-00 of chub, roach and skimmers.
Maver Bathampton (red) finished the league on 22pts, with Maver Bathampton (blue) on 18 points.

Maver Bait-Tech river ace Wayne Swinscoe has recently enjoyed arguably his best ever days roach fishing after winning the first round of the Bourne Winter League fished on the town stretch of the river Welland at Spalding, Lincolnshire.

The initial response for 2012 Maver Mega "Match This" tickets has been very encouraging with tickets selling immediately after going on sale via the Official Maver "Match This" website.

Phil Briscoe, Maver (UK) Managing Director, will, again, guarantee the winner of this year's event a minimum of £50,000. In addition to this however, Phil has announced that, providing ticket sales for this year's event allow, the competition will also aim to pay out second and third placed anglers meaning the competition for this year will no longer be a winner takes all event. It is our intention to pay 2nd place £5,000 and 3rd place £3,000 on the day (subject to change).

The opening round of the Larford Lakes Winter League series got underway on Saturday 14th January.

Maver Midlands have added another league win to their impressive winter league campaign, this time at Woodlands View.
Wayne Mellings, Stu Ballard, Chris Hill, Martin Harrell and Martyn Leck received the honours after an impressive performance that saw the team finish on top for three rounds of the six, with second place finishes in the remaining three rounds.
The team went out in style with Chris Hill picking up individual honours and Stu Ballard finishing close behind in second place.
Over the last two months, Maver Midlands have won three league titles at Heronbrook, Boldings and now Woodlands View.

Andy Kinder recently enjoyed a "red letter" specimen perch session at Cleobury Mortimer's Woodside Fishery, near Bewdley.
Although a relatively unknown venue, Woodside has seen a run of big perch landed over the last few weeks with the biggest weighing a massive 5lb 4oz - the biggest ever caught during a match and the 4th biggest perch of the year.
Andy, having never fished the venue before, relied on the knowledge of fishery management to put him on the fish and, in true "Kindy style" he did not fail to impress with thirteen fish to over 3lbs falling to his lobworm tail offering.
Andy commented "It's a lovely set-up at Woodside and I will definately be back in the summer when the weather has warmed up"!
Andy's session will feature in the February issue of Match Fishing Magazine.
