Just a wee reminder about the Colin &Hannah Doherty Memorial cup on this Monday evening at 7.00. A nice wee flood on this evening so should be in good shape by then.Our July committee meeting on this Tuesday in Tobemore starting at 8.00.There seems to be very little interest in the Fermamagh away trip might cancel this to another time.

The first winner of the new Robert Hueston Cup was Stanley Aspinall with a nice bag of fish on the worm. In second place was Wesley McClenaghan on worm, and in third place was Jonny Hurl on spinners. This puts Wesley well out in front of the league with 64 points. Nearest to Wesley on 46 points is Jonny Hurl. Our next competition is the Colin & Hannah Doherty Memorial Cup which is on Monday the 18th of July. Our next away trip is coming up on the 13th & 14th  August to Mill Lough in Bellanalack, Fermamagh, so I would need names as soon as possible to book accommodation. Tight Lines.

Our second competition of the season the Ciaran Duffin Memorial Cup last Saturday was fished for in extremely bad conditions and high dirty water which suited only the worm angler once again. In first place was Wesley McClenaghan on the worm. In second place was Paddy McCallion on worm and in third place was last weeks Mars bar winner Joey ONeill on worm. This weeks Mars Bar winner was Stanley Aspinal. A Mars Bar is awarded to someone who caught no fish on competition day. Our next day out is on the 9th of April the Ghillies Cup for the seniors, and the Ulster Bank Junior Cup for the juniors. Anyone still wishing to go on our away trip to Fermanagh on the 30th of April & the 1st of May please let me know as soon as possible. The cost of this is around £50. Lets hope the 9th of April will suit the Fly angler for a change.Tight Lines.
