Eleven young anglers from across the provinces turned out on a wet October Saturday for the All Ireland Youth Feeder Championships held on Lough Gowna in Co. Cavan. The fishing was not great, with roach the prevalent species and just a few small hybrids showing, but it was a good day’s competition enjoyed by everyone.
A bonus 1.5kg bream secured the 3-hour match for this year’s Under 15 champion Markas Cmuckas who finished with 1.700kg. In second place was Tiernan O’Brien with 0.275g and 3rd Sam Navickas with 0.225kg.
Sarunas Zenkovas won the match to take the title for the Under 25’s with 9 fish for 1.475kg. In second place also with 9 fish for 1.100kg was Demainte Kar and 3rd Brian Clark with 8 fish for 800g.
Congratulations to the winners who received winners trophies, tackle prizes and medals. Well done to everyone who took part who also took home terminal tackle items for their efforts. Thank you to Brenton Sweeney for running the event and for the assistance received on the bank. An ideal opportunity to observe our Team Ireland Feeder anglers of the future.
