Foulds
nets England spot for World Youths
Best
wishes are extended to young Worksop angler Terry Foulds who is now in
Portugal as part of the Drennan Team England Junior squad who are competing
in the World Youth Championships this weekend.
Terry who is a member of the Worksop and District Anglers Association
(WDAA) Junior angling squad is the fourth individual from the magnificent
Worksop team to represent their country on the World championship stage.
He follows in the footsteps of Colin Webster (team gold medallist in Belgium
1997) and Andrew Pickersgill and Marc Foy (team bronze medallists in Italy
2002).
Terry and his father Glenn, who is the current team manager of the WDAA
junior and intermediate squads, set off to Portugal last weekend after
Terry had won the annual Friday night competition on Sandhill Lake (see
report below for full results).
The England Junior and Youth squads will be practicing on the venue all
week and hopefully Terry – who is being sponsored by Geoff Mawby
of Gateford Angling Supplies on Gateford Road – will be back home
next week as the proud owner of a gold medal.
