Just had the absolute pleasure of watching young Harry Michael win the Matrix Preston Innovations UK Junior Championship at Aston Park! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was honoured to be his \u2018coach\u2019 for the day, but in all honesty I don\u2019t think he needed too much help from me as he fished such a tidy and skilful match. It was a pleasure to watch and have a ringside seat! In fact all the juniors today were an absolute credit and miles better than I ever was at their age. I\u2019d say the future looks very bright!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harry drew peg 40 on Butts lake, which was in the middle of a straight. With the fish looking like they\u2019d be in a feeding mood we formulated a positive plan in the morning and fine-tuned the rigs and feeding ready for the three-hour match. He worked exceptionally hard, rotating three swims to catch 38 fish for a whopping 117lb and a thoroughly deserved win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the top Matrix-coached angler Harry won a \u00a31,500 voucher for Matrix and Sonubaits goodies! The top Preston-coached angler was Charlie Drinkwater who was paired up with superstar Andy May and won a \u00a31,500 voucher for Preston and Sonubaits goodies. Another great performance! The four section winners were Jack Crystal, Charlie Aspin, Abbey Cutting and Jack Martin who also won tackle prizes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the 18 juniors got a bucket crammed with bait and tackle and were teamed up with top Matrix and Preston consultants. Aston Park Fisheries proved to be a really great venue with loads of fish caught and smiles all around. Hats off to everyone involved in such a great event!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, a HUGE well done to rising star Harry Michael! Check out the Preston Innovations, Sonubaits and Matrix pages for some great pics and footage from this fantastic event!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
