Team Ireland wins the day in Newry, and then wins day two too
The traditional angling championship between Celtic home nations was staged on the coal yard match stretch, an area developed for coarse angling at the Albert Basin of the Newry Canal.
Day two started with the first frost of the season and bright sunshine. It was a better day for Team Wales and ‘Red’ team finished with 11 points for a total 26 points, taking second position from Team Scotland ‘Blue’ but not enough to beat the excellent performance from Ireland ‘A’ Team.
The best young angler went to John Collins of Monasterevin, Co Kildare, for his top score of eight points. Well done to John who won a £100 voucher awarded by Newry BID in recognition of his efforts. The conviction was secured under Section 171 of the Fisheries Act 1959 – legislation regarding protection of fishing waters from harmful pollutants.
This was a catch-and-release event with fish weighed promptly by stewards at various locations close to the fishing.Bank winner: Alwyn Johnston, 24lb 10oz. The top 12 shared a prize pot of £3,750 which included £1,000 for the winning fish. Boat winner: Damien Maguire, 27lb 6oz. £4,500 was paid out to the top three with pay outs down to 23rd position.
