The Angling Trust reports: “Following last week’s splendid Bank National Final, at Chatton Fishery, Northumberland, AT TEFF’s executives are pleased to announce this year’s Bank National Co-ordinator and England International angler, Lee Cartmail, as the Team Manager. Lee has a long and fruitful relationship with competitive game angling, AT TEFF Team England, and the open match circuit. 
Lee will be organising the team’s attendance and accompanying them during the event at Newhaylie Trout Fishery, on the Firth of Clyde in North Ayrshire, Scotland overlooking the Isle of Bute & Arran. This isn’t Lee’s first time, as he took on the impressive role of Manager & Captain at last year’s 5-Nations Championships at Macroom, Ireland.
Paul Page, ATTEFF, said ‘I was fortunate to attend the Bank Final on the 7th of May. It was a very well attended and organised event. Lee Cartmail did a sterling job, keeping tight control over rules and compliance etc.
It’s my pleasure to hand the reins over to Lee for the bank team manager’s job. Lee was unable to take up the role last year, as he was already committed to managing and fishing the 5NFFC. It seems so fitting he take the bank team manager’s role in 2023. 
He’s organised and run all the Qualifiers and National Final this year, and it will now maintain continuity for Lee to be appointed as the Bank Team Manager. I’m very pleased to see Lee appointed as the 2023 Bank Team Manager and to see him take the new team to Scotland in October.’
Congratulations to Lee and the team representing England at this year’s Bank International, good luck guys.”
