The winner of the TAFI youth fundraising raffle which took place last June, Martin McCoy, picked up his new boat on Saturday November 1st.
The boat was built to suit Martin’s specifications by William Ganly of Ganly Boats.
Youth team manager, Frank Dempsey, presented the boat to Martin.
On behalf of the 2025 youth team, Frank would like to thank William Ganly for doing a fantastic job on building the boat which is finished to a very high standard. Frank also would like to take this opportunity to thank Martin and everyone else who bought tickets for the raffle, for supporting the 2025 youth team.
The youth team had a successful trip to the World championships in Idaho, USA last July and finished in 4th place and received sponsorship support from Inland Fisheries Ireland to help them attend the event.
If you are interested in supporting Irish teams who are attending international events held overseas, keep an eye on the Trout Anglers Federation of Ireland Facebook page for details of other fundraising activities in the future.
