Munster Coarse Anglers have reported back from their latest match, which was contested in extremely difficult conditions and, unsurprisingly, produced very low weights across the board…
In a great result, Ed Smith claimed overall victory 25 years after winning his only previous MCA match, doing so in style by taking the match win, both section prizes, and the Golden Peg. He was the only angler to register a catch in Section 1, underlining just how tough conditions were on the day.
Section 2 offered little more in the way of action, with three blank nets recorded and just 11oz shared between the remaining four anglers. Despite the tough fishing, the result has ensured that the final match of the league promises to be a real nail-biter, with four anglers still in contention and calculating the various permutations needed to secure overall victory.
Results were as follows:
1st: Ed Smith – 3lb 11oz
2nd: Kevin Leahy
Joint 3rd: Morgan Lewis & Ian Kelsey
4th: Liam Bedford
