Golden Reel Competition

Into our 10th year of the competition. 

 

 26 qualifiers will be staged at the country’s top commercial venues. 

 

The winner of each individual qualifier will progress to the Grand Final at Larford Lakes on Saturday 19th September 2026 on the Specimen Lake

Two semi-finalists will also progress to the semi-final match.

Subject to sales of 60 or more tickets per qualifier, Golden Reel will pay £40,000 to the eventual winner, £5,000 to second and £3,000 to third plus 4 section winners.
