On December 27th, Mariners angler John Cunningham won the Land and sea sports league after the 5 outings with the last outing taking place on Dec 27th on Rossnowlagh beach.

Sean Carty reports:
Great day out on rossnowlagh beach today , fishing was fairly poor but it was a pleasure to be out. The winner of our annual Christmas competition was Cathal Donnelly with Owen Gilvary in 2nd position. The longest fish went to James Cummins with a nice 37cm flounder. The best Junior angler of on the day was Billy Gilvary. Dec 27th was also the final leg of Cartys winter shore league. The overall winner of the league after some fantastic fishing was John Cunningham and in 2nd position after a good consistent performance was Kieran McGowan. All together 29 anglers took part in this year’s winter league from Mayo, sligo Donegal and Derry. Without this support this event couldn’t be such a success. Nearly €1800 in prizes were handed out over the 5 legs of the comp. In the near future Cartys plan to have another few comps including a local Bass hunt and a one day big open comp.
