Junior Liaison.

I have enjoyed another year with the kids at their matches. We have had a larger turnout this year and also more success. We finished second at the South East of England cup missing out on weight. We finished third in the Edburton Bowl, also we finished third in the summer league. We had better fortune in the winter league, finishing top after a very exciting series of matches on the rivers. It came down to the final match and we finished up winning the league by just one point. After being involved with these kids for the last few years I have seen great improvements in their abilities and would recommend these matches to all of our juniors.

I would like to thank Burgess Hill Angling Centre for their support in providing bait for our matches. Also thanks go to Nigel Jackson for his assistance at the matches and for collection of bait.

Please can I have more juniors for next seasons matches? Anyone interested in taking part should ring me (or get their parent/carer to do so) for more information. We can sometimes help with transport if needed. The matches are reasonably competitive but the emphasis is on fun! It also gives them a chance to develop their angling skills as advice from experienced adult anglers is always available.
