Pete Davis of West Cork and District SAC put together this great report of their recent club matches at Bantry Airstrip and Ferrypoint:
The club’s two latest competition’s were held at Bantry Airstrip and Ferrypoint.

The Airstrip is always capable of throwing up a few decent fish and luckily it did for us on the day.
The competition winner was Troy Francis helped along with a nice double shot of ray, The winning card had a mixture of Thornback ray’s and Dogfish Barry O Rourke had similar in second place and Jp Molloy was third on the day.
Troy Francis – 10 fish =537pts
Barry O Rourke – 8 fish =417pts
Jp Molloy – 6 fish =338pts
Pool’s
Jp Molloy- Thornback ray 83cm
Troy Francis – Thornback ray 77cm
Ferrypoint
Ferrypoint was used as a backup venue for our original fixture on Ballyquin, unfortunately due to high winds the beach was unsafe to fish.
It was a very tight fought competition, JP lead the way going into the last hour but Troy finished very strong with a nice triple shot of dogs, a 53cm bass and another dog to get the win. Well done Troy a very good run of form lately keeps him on top of our Master Angler table.
Troy Francis – 10 fish =508pts
Stephen O Donovan – 9 fish = 427pts
Jp Molloy – 9 fish = 396pts
Pool’s
Troy Francis – Bass 53cm
