THE Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series kicked off on Friday with some incredible dives from the Lord’s Prayer, located just beside the famous Dunluce Castle on the north coast.

Round 1 saw seven-time champion Rhiannan Iffland (Australia) storm in to the lead while Mexican Jonathan Paredes landed out in front of the men’s field.

It’s all still to play for as the series heads to Ballycastle Harbour, with the action kicking off at 4.00pm on Friday and Saturday.
