Maver Match Aid Three Day Festival 2017 | Partridge Lakes Fishery

WINNERS
1. Yestyn Sephton
2. Rob Swan
3. Jake Pope
The annual junior Match-Aid festival took place on Wednesday 2nd August and concluded on Friday 4th August with thirty one (31) anglers aged between 15-18 taking part. The event was, once again, kindly hosted by Partridge Lakes, Warrington with the majority of the complex in use. The event was fished over three days with anglers being awarded points based on where they finished in their respective sections each day.
As well as the main event itself, there was also opportunity the children of all abilities to visit the venue over the three days to receive free coaching from the likes of Andy Kinder, Lee Edwards, Stephen Bowen, Macauley Pearson, Simon Skelton, Dave Watson and Gary Eccles. The coaching sessions were particularly enjoyable for the Maver sponsored anglers with a number of youngsters getting involved and homing their skills. Who knows, there may well have been a future World Champion amongst the ranks!
Competing within the three days festival itself was Maver’s own future star, Sarah Taylor. Despite some unfavourable draws over the three days, and a little bit of bad luck along the way, Sarah ended on a high recording a default section win to conclude this year’s festival on a positive.
Well done to all the competitors that took part in this year’s event. The standard of junior fishing on display this year was superb and all thirty one anglers should be very proud of their individual performances on each of the three days. A big well done to Yestyn Sephton, who as well as being awarded an impressive trophy, also received a Darkside Series 1 pole package for his efforts.

Quite a few negative comments. Why? It is far better for these youngsters to be doing this than drinking, drugs and other aspects of crime etc. It is quite obvious that they are into their fishing with their kit and apparel. They are hooked on it . A lot of work goes into these type of events by lots of people. It is good all round. Nothing in this world is perfect. And to be honest if it was it would be ever so boring. I enjoyed watching it. And seeing the pleasure all round. And the girls were into it as well. Encouragement is all it takes. Would I go there? Yes of course. Not just for the fishing. But knowing what the place is all about. The people who own / run it. You can see they care. And indeed are doing their bit. Keep up the good work. Spot on! Happy days!

9.24. What pool is this? Looks very narrow and great for far bank work.

There should have used a carp unhooking mat under the scales net to prevent fish being damaged by tipping into the weight net
