12 anglers took part in the competition and were split between two boats for the day. In total 626 fish were caught between the anglers, a great result!

Congratulations to Brian Faulkner of Killala Boat and Shore on his well deserved win👏

A big thanks to the hosts, Corrane S.A.C, for such a well organised event, the boat owners, and to all the anglers who made the journey west on the day!
