Sensational double gold for Irish teams

The Irish men and women’s team sensationally secured gold medals in this week’s World Shore Angling Championships in Wexford.

Irish Federation of Sea Angling PRO Brian Reidy described the achievement as phenomenal and one he hopes will put the sport “back on the map” in this country.

“This is huge for us,” Reidy explained. “The fact we won on home soil is special. “This is the first time the ladies have entered a team into the competition and the men haven’t won since 2010. What they achieved this week is phenomenal and has done so much for the sport in Ireland.
