Joe Fitzharris reporting on a very successful  Maloney/Keady Cup held on Lough O”Flynn Sunday, Sept 16-th. 24 – Anglers competed in only the second running of this event in very good angling conditions. Most encouragingly on the day was the much welcome increase in Junior fly anglers.

Results show a tie for second, and third placings which were resolved by Longest fish wins criteria referenced in competition rules.
