Maldon Crabbing Championship

The 1st Maldon Crabbing Championship, held in the park on the 22nd August 2009, was a great success with 230 people of all ages battling it out to land the heaviest crab.

The winner of the Junior competition was Matthew Batchelor with a crab weighing in at 77g.

The winner of the over 13's competition was Fiona Smith with a crab of 57g.

Full results of both competitions can be viewed in the download area of this page.
