Newent Success at Schools National Fishing Competition
Newent Community School's B Team have
achieved a fantastic second place in the Schools National Fishing
Competition. The competition is open to all schools in the UK and
this year saw a total of 30 teams from 22 schools entered. The
competition was held at the Daiwa Hallcroft Fishery in north east
Nottinghamshire with teams consisting of 5 anglers fishing a four
hour match. The competition was won by Valley School from Worksop who
also won the competition last year.
The Newent B team were; Liam Parker,
Ed John, Connor Barber-Starke, Ben Arkell and Mike Reynolds.
The A Team came a very respectable 10th
in a field of teams dominated by the North of England with many
fishing on their home turf.
Mention should also be given to Jack
Davies and Ben Arkell who won their respective sections.
The Young Anglers Project grew from the
involvement of Rob England with Newent Community School. The
relationship between members of YAP and the school have continued
over the years. A weekly school angling club is run and regular
junior matched are held. For several years the school has entered
teams in the Schools National Fishing Competition, this year
achieving their best ever result.
