The Erne Anglers Winter League Final was held in extremely challenging conditions, as 24 qualifiers faced a rising River Erne and gale-force winds—far worse than those experienced in earlier rounds.

Andy Gregg secured victory and the £300 first prize with a winning weight of 6.775kg from peg 20 at Derrychara. Greg Bojczewski finished runner-up from Schools peg 8, weighing 6.450kg on the whip to claim £200. Third place went to Johnny McKinley on Bellanaleck peg 4 with 6.125kg, also earning £200. Paul Boothby topped the final section from Ring peg 9 with 4.250kg, winning £180.

Section runners-up each received £150: Artur Bojczewski (Bellanaleck Low) with 5.850kg, Mike Tesar (Derrychara) with 4.600kg, Wayne Fuller (Ring) with 3.450kg, and Rob Bell (Schools) with 4.675kg.
