HALWILL businessman Zyg Gregorek is hoping to pull off another prestigious award for the second time running next month, when he jets off to Mauritius for the world marlin cup competition.

Zyg and his wife Rose run Anglers Paradise, which was chosen by South West Tourism for an Excellence in England award for the second time running recently.

Now Zyg is hoping to hold on to his Marlin Cup title for an unprecedented second year.

Zyg said: 'Nobody has ever won it twice. We had it last year and, God-willing, we might do it again, you can never tell, but we will do our duty for Queen and country!'

Zyg's cup attempt is a family affair, as his team consists of Rose and his two daughters, 17-year-old Anna and Zenia, who is 22.
