well done lads, one final hurdle left to go tomorrow

If they can finish in the top 5 tomorrow they have the Gold Medal.... what an incredible result this would be..
Everything crossed for tomorrow........

Keep it going lads... Best of luck tomorrrow...

Possibly on the eve of the gretest day in Irish Angling history! I won't be sleeping tonight.

Does anyone have a picture of the team together by any chance?

magnificent effort so far from the lads.they will do it!..not a religious man but sent a plea to st peter and st andrew (patron saints of fishermen) who knows my prayers may be answered..

John o b and derek k placing high in there zones

Will update as the information comes in.........

Thats great news Dave, come on the lads.

anymore word on results

all the best lads,looking at the schedule and information http://www.sasaa.co.za/index/images/sto ... e_2010.pdf it looks like they had a busy week

just spoke to him a few mins ago. were just off the beach so no scores tallied up yet. he said they had all gone fair to middling, seemed to think they had a podium finish, but not sure what position. will just hav to wait till the scores are finished

Hope they have finished in a podium place as they have fished really well the first 3 days. Thats a big achievement in itself.

A massive achievement wherever theyve finished. Very proud of my little soldiers!

Any word on the lads, hope they get a medal out of it.

They have beaten Germany who were in second place... And reckon the chance of the Gold finish is about 90% as they had such a big cushion going into today !

Spain and France are the only challengers.

We should have confirmation by 3pm (Irish Time)


We've all heard of Irish anglers catching dogs ... John o Brien had a double shot today of a Dog and...........A CAT !! :D
