"I've still got a couple of years left at Under-21 level and I want to be British Under-21 Champion and get into SGP2. I think that would be beneficial to me. It's benefited so many people and I don't see why I can't be in it and do well." Buoyed by the offer of a team place at Leicester and victory in the Under-21 Championship semi-final, Sam Hagon is aiming high.
BEW VIEW
"I can go to a meeting and only get beaten by the other couple of heat leaders. When I was at No. 7 and I beat the opposing second string, people said I was a potential World Champion. But now if I get beaten by their heat leader, people say I'm terrible and shambolic." Britain's Dan Bewley on the perils of social media.
MODERN YOUTH
"When you look at the leagues nowadays, almost everyone who is British and under the age of 23 or 24, probably with the exception of Dan Bewley, has had some involvement in the Youth series over the years." Looking ahead to the start of this season's British Youth Championship with Neil Vatcher.
