Match Fishing For Disabled Anglers

The British Disabled Angling Association have run & organized disabled angling matches for the Disabled anglers through out the UK from 1997 to 2005.

But the BDAA had grown rapidly and was in need of entrusting the match sector to a dedicated group, to service the growing interest in disabled match events. So the United Kingdom Disabled Match Fishing Council (UKDMFC) was formed with 9 dedicated disabled anglers who are executive members, who give their time freely and who have done match angling for a number of years, in fact there is 2 disabled anglers who have fished in the Disabled World Championships for England who are on the executive council, so with their experience combined with the rest of the executive members we know what the disabled match anglers want.

Each year there as been on average 155 disabled anglers taken part in the UKDMFC Disabled Master’s events, which are on disabled friendly fisheries through out the UK.

Teams of 5 there as been 14 teams took part.

North v South 66 Anglers took part.

The UKDMFC are now on their third year, there are 17 events booked through out the UK. With individual events team events Rod & Line only event to cater for what the disabled anglers want. Hopefully there will be more disabled anglers joining us for 2008.

The UKDMFC receives no funding what so ever, the UKDMFC rely on tackle & product donations from fishing tackle manufactures and tackle shops, to which is raffle of to help the UKDMFC run at a professional level, the UKDMFC do thank the support it receives from everyone, but are always looking for donations to keep the UKDMFC in helping disabled anglers to participate in match angling at a professional level.

If you feel that the UKDMFC is for you then join us.
