Paddy Kelly Memorial Cup

Oct 21 Boyle & Dist. Paddy Kelly Memorial Cup on Oakport lake 11am-5pm.


The weather has been better for our last few outing's than all summer, the rainfall earlier in the week had the levels up by a few feet & this fresh water slowed the fishing a bit. But Declan was in fine form netting more than 6 pike with the 19pd 1oz shown above the best.
The results are as follows:
1st Declan Conroy
2nd Eamon Conroy
3rd Peter Noone.
The club has only one more outing left this year which will be to Elphin on the 4th November.
 "Angler of Year on Lough Na Blahy fishing 10am - 4pm.
 This is always an enjoyable lake to fish, Tom Commons has done well here, winning the last 2 outings but will need a huge effort to catch Jim Clarke in the overall standings.I hope to have photo's of the presentation later.

Michael Conroy Perpetual Memorial Cup.

Jim Clarke leaves it late!
As so often happens in these competitions the winner is caught on the last throw of the Dice!
After having a very quite day by his standards he decided to take one last turn around before going in and landed a great fish to 11pd 12oz. The last two ounces doing the damage to Myles who was relegated to 2nd.
The day weather wise was one of the nicest of the year, which meant most of the fish were caught in 10ft +
Thanks again to all the Conroy family who helped organise the event so well, Ann was brilliant managing to keep everyone well fed and also to ensure the fish were weighed, handled and released correctly. Result was all swam away and no reports of injury.

Michael Conroy Perpetual Memorial Cup.
1st Jim Clarke
2nd Myles Quinn
3rd Peter Noone
4th Joe Mulrennan
5th Deirdre Conroy
1st Junior Lucy Egan.




















Enjoying the Breakfast
