TOMMY COPES ON OWEL.

Last Sunday Lough Owel Anglers fished the J. O, Malley Cup in unbelievable conditions. The heavy rain showers were out of this world, and got right through my gear. The Lake fished well and huge hatches of Olives had the fish surface feeding. Retired Soldier Tommy Cowap fishing with Kenny Kiernan topped the day with a fine trout of 1.345 kg to win the Johnny O, Malley Cup. Johnny Plunkett finished 2nd with 0.985kg, and 3rd was Lough Owel Trout Preservation Association Chairman Brendan Murray with 0.975kg. Brendan thanked Johnny and David O, Malley for their sponsorship, and Johnny was on hand to present prizes.
