Volunteer as a steward

The NCFFI is honoured to have been appointed by FIPSed the world governing body for sport fishing to host the championships and we are delighted to hold it on Lough Muckno, Castleblayney.

The competition to be held on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd of April will see 33 angling clubs representing 20 nations compete for the Club Championship title in feeder fishing. Representing Ireland will be the Lurgan Coarse Angling Club and the CM Lakelands Feeder Club hoping for a podium finish on home waters.

Your help is required to steward the event. Each day of the championships we are required to monitor the activities of the anglers and keep a note of the fish caught. With 150 fishing its a tough call to have someone behind every angler with 30 stwards required for each of the five sections.

NCFFI stewards and FIPSed officials will be on the bank for support and to monitor each fishing section.

If you would like a birds eye view of the worlds top feeder anglers battle it out for a medal or would just like a day on the bank in the scenic environs of Lough Muckno, please register your interest below to be part of this fantastic event;
NATIONAL COARSE FISHING FEDERATION OF IRELAND

The NCFFI is the governing body for coarse and predator angling on the island of Ireland and has been representing anglers for over 60 years. As a non-funded voluntary body the organisation of world championships by our members supported by event sponsors enables us to present teams at World Championships overseas.

In 2022 funds raised allowed Team Ireland to attend 6 championships worldwide and realise a Gold Medal for 17yr old Charlie Richards, U20 Youth World Champion and Silver for Michael Buchwalder, Feeder.

Our members are dedicated to running and promoting the event at Lough Muckno which we estimate will deliver to the region economic benefits of over €2m, and up to 3000 bed nights. The worldwide media coverage from this event we hope will invigorate the appetite for the coarse angling product available at Lough Muckno whilst providing a boost for Castleblayney and its environs.
