A big thanks to the Connaught Angling Council for hosting both the Youth Inter-Provincial Lake and River Championships on Saturday the 17th and Sunday the 18th September 2011.   Both competitions proved to be very successful and were fished on a catch and release basis.

The Youths Inter-Provincial Lake Championship took place on the Saturday on the Gowla and Athry Fisheries in Connemara.  Congratulations to Kenneth Cormican (Connaught) who is the 2011 Youth Inter-Provincial Lake Champion.  Kenneth had a great day on the lakes catching 12 trout in total and also the largest trout of the day (50cm’s).  Sean Dempsey (Leinster) was second just ahead of Finbarr Carroll (Munster) who was third.  Munster won the Inter-Provincial Lake Championship ahead of Connaught, Leinster and Ulster.
