Ireland's Shore Anglers Take Gold In Europe

18th November 2013

#Angling - Ireland's shore anglers hooked the gold medal at the European Federation of Sea Anglers' 2013 Shore Championships in the Netherlands recently.

As the Belfast Telegraph reports, Ireland secured the European shore angling title for the first time with a points tally of 165 in the three-day competition, just nine points ahead of strong contenders Italy.

And it was the Irish teams success on day two that clinched it for them, with Michael Quinn and Warren Doyle taking wins in their zones, the latter by just three fish, while Joe Byrne and Clive Ivory took second and third in their respective zones.

The Belfast Telegraph has much more on the story HERE.
