Youth team travel and entry are subsidised by NCFFI, with support from Inland Fisheries Ireland and partners — but we need your help too! Parents and anglers will be fundraising to cover travel costs, and any support or sponsorship is warmly welcomed to help these young athletes represent Team Ireland with pride.

We also warmly welcome support from our membership — anyone available to travel and support the squad in France will make a huge difference for these young anglers.

John Browne in action today, securing an impressive 4th place in his section. No stranger to the international stage, John’s journey began at just 12 years old when he first represented the U15 team at the World Youth Angling Championships on Inniscarra Lake. Since then, he has continued to compete at championships and overseas, steadily building his experience, something for others to aspire to.
