Sunday 7th September was the turn of the Junior Pegged Beach Match on Bexhill Seafront which was fished in difficult conditions with bright sunshine and flat calm seas with a dropping tide.

The Junior Match was sponsored by Anglers Den and the result was joint first for two juniors who both caught Smoothounds - pictured below are Martin Payne and Dan Tillett receiving their prizes from Glyn Morgan.

The Anglers Den stand was located in the new Angling Village at the Festival this year, alongside other fishing tackle shops and suppliers, and a range of other angling organisations. Glyn spent the weekend demonstrating various angling techniques and equipment, as well as enjoying the beautiful sunshine, and some festival cuisine!
