The Angling Trust would like to offer their appreciation and thanks to George Cunningham of Tronix Pro, in Sussex who has once again stepped in with sponsorship and product support for the England World Junior and Youth teams competing in the World Shore Championships in Montenegro in 2012, and to Kamasan UK, the hook specialists from Oxford who have agreed to supply the England Junior and Youth teams with hooks which should give the teams that cutting edge during the five day World Championships.

Darren Phillips, Chairman of the Angling Trust Marine National Team and Competition Group said, "The Junior and Youth teams selected by the Angling Trust to represent England during the 2012 International programme represent the future of competitive shore angling.  The National Team and Competition Group are very confident of their abilities, and wish them every success in their endeavours.  The support that the teams have been offered from Kamasan and Tronix Pro is a key enabler in helping them achieve their goals.  It is great to see quality English based angling companies recognising and supporting the future of English angling and their support is most gratefully received".
