The Irish Federation of Sea Anglers (IFSA), in associatio­n with Arklow Town Team, launched the championsh­ip logo on Friday last at South Beach in the town. The design will be used to promote the 2020 U16 and U21 World Shore Angling Championsh­ips which will be based in Arklow from October 10 to 17.
