Teenage Magherafelt angler making a name for himself at national and world level events
A 16-year-old from Magherafelt is rapidly making a name for himself in angling at national and world level events.
Henry Suiter, a member of Moyola Angling Club, recently spent a week and a half in Ballybofey, Donegal, competing for Ireland in the inaugural Fips-Mouche U24 Championships which was held alongside the World Young Champioships.
He was competing against teams from South Africa, America, England. Slovenia, Finland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, France, Spain.
After five days of competition on lakes and rivers, both Irish teams won their respective competitions.
Henry first got introduced to competitive angling after joining the Moyola Club.
He has qualified for Ulster each year, before qualifying for Ireland for two years now in the Worlds.
Henry went to United States of America last year for the World Fly Fishing Champioships, and is set to compete in the upcoming Four Nations.
The Rainey Endowed pupil is also awaiting his GCSE results.
