The NCFFI National Coarse Fishing Federation of Ireland reports:
The first Erne Anglers memorial match took place on the Ballyconnell Canal and Woodford River yesterday. Fished in the Fur & Feather format the 19 anglers who competed all took home a prize rather than winners pools. The prizes were kindly donated by Fishing Tackle and Bait, Tubertini UK LTD, Cloughbally Mill Wholesale and MJ Flood.
Sport was not good on the river sections but plenty of small fish were caught in the canal, with the weather being much better than in recent days.
In first place and first to win the Dave Yates Memorial Shield was Ireland International feeder angler Tony Kersley, Ballycassidy, Fermanagh with 1.360Kgs on the Harbour peg 2.
Runner up was Bob Hulme, Dublin who won the section on the Canal and in third place was Junior angler Stefan Patterson, Derrylin, Fermanagh who won the Woodford River section in Ballyconnell town. The end of a good week for Stefan who has just been selected to represent Ireland at U18 level in 2015.
Club secretary Jack Tisdall thanked all the sponsors of the event in particular Francis McGoldrick owner of the Anglers Rest in Ballyconnell who provided free food for all the anglers taking part
