Lewis (Traper) Parr does it again as Carlow Junior Anglers win all sections
The Angling Council of Ireland, the national body for all the anglers in Ireland, Sea, Game, Pike and Coarse angling, held their first ever Junior match in Carlow today, ( The Barrow Clubs Junior Championship 2010). The Barrow clubs were brought together for the first time, in attendance were the Waterford Coarse Angling Club, The Carlow Coarse Angling Club and the Athy and District Angling Club. The weather was a wee bit wet however this didn't dampen the spirits of the Junior anglers. All juniors caught fish on the day and all received a special goodie bag courtesy of Waterways Ireland and Traper/Robinson/Fishing Masters Carlow. Bait was supplied by Gerry at Carlow Coarse Angling Supplies Graiguecullen, Carlow. There were three sections which were under 18's, under 13's and Novice. The under 18 section was won by the Traper sponsored Lewis Parr (Carlow club), the under 13 section was won by Thomas Quinlan (Carlow club) and the Novice was won by Jamie Walsh (Carlow club). Waterways Ireland also sponsored the cut glass trophies and Fishing Masters a Robinson rod and reel for prizes. A special thankyou should be extended to Der Casey, Pat Dalton and the other Waterford people who helped Franz Caffery etc. from the Athy and District Club and Gerry mcStraw, Neville Martin, George Quinlan and all the other Carlow volunteers who helped out on the day.
