Brendan O’Reilly reports that today Newgrange Active Angling club had a club challenge match with local pike angling club O’Casey’s on a Lake in Monaghan. With water high we knew it would be difficult. It was a bright day and a couple of fish coming to both teams in the first hour, 2 to O’Casey’s Johnny Brady and 2 for Brendan O’Reilly for Newgrange. O’Casey’s had the better fish and had the lead, but fishing slowed down for a while as both teams went in search of fish. Paul Reynolds of O’Casey’s caught the next fish to extend the lead, then 2 fish for Newgrange 6-lb and a 5lbs-4ozs gave the honour’s to Newgrange Angler’s by 3lbs-11ozs. All in all a good day’s fishing was had.
Brendan advises that Newgrange new membership will closing on Feb 22nd
