The Tug-of-war Association of Northern Ireland joined TWIF in 1965, when they participated in the European Championship at Crystal Palace and directly won the silver medal in the 720KG class. Since then they took part in 127 TWIF competitions and won three World titles (all in Indoor events) and one European title. In 1976 Mr. John Shephard became TWIF Treasurer as successor of Mr. Eric Shorthouse. In 1990 Mr. Cathal McKeever was elected TWIF Vice President and later Senior Vice President. After the retirement of Mr. Co Koren in 2007 he was elected TWIF President.
