42 junior anglers from 7 local angling clubs took part in this years Greater Manchester Junior Angling Championships held in bright sunny conditions on Lake 4 at Bradshaw Hall Fisheries in Bolton.
There were some excellent displays of skill from many junior anglers but after a tense weigh in at the end of the match the juniors from Bury were announced as winners. A special mention goes to Nick Magee (below) who added individual honours with a winning weight of 54lb 2oz to go with his Team Winners Medal. Nick fished pellet waggler at distance to catch a succession of carp to 6lbs.
The juniors of Radcliffe AS came a very creditable second, and last years winners Warrington in third place.
The match was organised by the Greater Manchester Angling Development Group whos contact details can be found at the side of this page. So if your club would like to take part in next years team event please dont hesitate to contact us.
Bradshaw Hall Fisheries very generously donated the exclusive use of their main match lake for this event, and also presented Nick Magee the individual winner with a valuable free season ticket for 2013. Its great to see that the new owners of Bradshaws are supporting the development of Angling in the North West.
