Dingle Bay to host 2012 interprovincials

THE 2012 All-Ireland Juniors/Youths Interprovincial Shore Angling Championships 2012 will be held next February in Kerry from February 17 to 19 on Inch and Rossbeigh Beaches in Dingle Bay.

In the Under 16 section, Munster will be represented by anglers from five clubs. The top five young anglers fought a very close contest over four qualifying events held at Cheekpoint, Co Waterford (2), Inch and Rossbeigh, with the top four anglers finishing on 55 points each.

The five anglers who will represent Munster are joint first Curtis Connolly, (Tramore/Waterford SAC), 55 points; Ruairi Granley, (West Cork & District SAC), 55 points; Luke M. O’Sullivan, (Tralee Bay SAC); 55 points; Jordan Muire, (BASS SAC), 51 points; Daniel Connolly, (Rinnashark SAC), 45 points. The unluckiest young angler was Ciarán O’Neill, (Tramore/Waterford SAC), who finished in joint first on 55 points, but due to being just 13 years old, was ineligible to compete.
