Izzy Gibbins with her awards after finishing fifth in the national championship
IZZY Gibbins is an example of a youngster who has overcome her fishing nerves and is now looking forward to building on her early success in matches.
The 14-year-old St Gregory’s High School student from Bewsey admits she did not like handling ‘wriggly maggots and the slimy fish’ even at the point that she started having little competitions with her dad, Chris, less than 12 months ago.
But in a year as difficult as 2020 was due to coronavirus, Izzy’s positive experiences mounted to her finishing the top-placed girl and overall fifth in a national competition.
