Fintan Brennan was 3rd with 13lb 5oz and in the 4th spot Sid Baldock over from the UK had 10lb 13oz. The club tells us they had great support from the local anglers with 21 fishing the two days and would like to take this opportunity to thank their sponsors the Daingean club and Edenderry Credit Union.

On Sunday, 19 June, the club was back on the water again and they had another great day’s fishing on the Grand Canal at Daingean.

The venue was the Bumpy Road section and they chose all the best pegs from the previous week’s festivals for the 18 anglers fishing. This is the way to catch on the canal – small sections with plenty of room in between. There were some good catches and the results are as follows;

  1. Julian Kendrick 20lb.
  2. Alan Larkin 13lb
  3. Sean Ward 12lb.
