I can't believe gypsy is a world champion! Well done boyyyy!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats to all involved, a great reward for a huge effort - flying over early for 2 weeks of practice and the week of competition must have cost each of them a lot of money. Hope they get a massive homecoming welcome, and the publicity they deserve.

Its called fishing, not catching. If it was called catching it wouldn't be fishing!

Re: Ireland win World Shore Championships in South Africa!
Fantastic result. It shows it can be done.
Congratulations to the team and to Tom. They have put in a lot of effort and best of all, they have proved results of previous years. That has certainly established the Irish Shore Team as absolutely TOP CLASS.
Well done!!

Re: Ireland win World Shore Championships in South Africa!
Just back from SA today (I've missed a quarter of my sons life competing in SA so hard to justify another few days celebrating). A few pictures attached from the top of Table Mountain from yesterday - the rest of the team were last seen heading off cage diving to see great whites, personally I dont want to see another fish for a while!. On behalf of the rest of the team, many thanks for all the messages of congratulations and support, it is very much appreciated.
