#Angling - Following Team Ireland's gold-medal performance at the 2014 Shore Angling Home Nations Internationals earlier this month comes news of Irish anglers' first medal at world championship level in the Feeder Worlds in Co Cork last week.

The Irish claimed silver on home turf in the fourth World Feeder Championships at Inniscarra just behind favourites England in a competitive field comprising 125 anglers from 25 countries, according to the Belfast Telegraph.

Ireland also topped the table for heaviest individual catch thanks to Richard Pratt's 20.176kg haul on the first day of fishing.

Calves Week Regatta takes place in Schull in early August, continuing the annual tradition in West Cork since the inception of the Schull Harbour Sailing Club in 1884.

In more recent years, a more compact schedule as an alternative to the older two-week even has proved popular.

The four-day Calves Week Championships with the usual mix of courses taking in the Fastnet Rock and many of Carbery's Hundred Isles, together with laid courses in Roaringwater Bay is one of Irish sailing's enduring fixtures. 

A daily prize-giving takes place on Main Street in Schull, which sees a nautical festival theme for the village organised by local businesses.
