COMMONS WINS AGAIN

On Sunday 3rd of October, Boyle & District Anglers fished for the Donnellan Cup on Lough Na Blaithe outside Elphin.
Weather conditions were perfect for the 21 competing anglers. Eighteen fish were caught and released on the day with most of the anglers adding to their total weights for the title of Angler Of The Year 2010.
Largest number of fish caught by one angler on the day was seven by Declan Conroy, the heaviest weighing in at 12lb 10oz and looking like a clear winner

until with half an hour to go to the end of the competition, Tom Commons and his boat partner, Joe Tormey, rang the weigh master with news of a good catch from the furthest end of the lake. Tom weighed in a cracking fish of 19lb 4oz for what was to be a personal best and worthy winner.
Joe, of course claimed responsibility for helping to land the fish as he said a calm head was required after a lengthy battle.
Tom is now in poll position on the leader board followed closely by Declan Conroy and Jim Clarke.
Jim, who won last months competition, finished in third place this time with two good fish, best of which weighed in at 5lb 1oz.

Presentation of prizes took place in the Moylurg Inn in Boyle on Sunday night and the club would like to thank Aaron and Kevin for their hospitality.
Our next outing will be on Sunday the 17th of October on Lough Skean near Ballyfarnon where We will compete for the Michael Conroy Perpetual Memorial cup. Fishing from 11am to 5pm.
This competition is open to all anglers, and with one competition remaining after the 17th, any one of the top ten anglers are still in with a chance of claiming the title for 2010.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEING ME!!!
