Last Saturday 31st August saw the Leinster Qualifiers taking place on Lough Leane. Conditions were very good with many anglers returning fish. This was a catch, release and record competition and the top anglers carded 5 fish. Half of the 12 DTAA members who entered were through. We will list only those who qualified here to avoid shaming the rest of us!

Fran Nugent (3rd), Gerry Heaslip, Brian Conway, Gary Coakley, Tom Hipwell, and Dave Canning all qualified. Well done folks. The final will be fished next year on Melvin.
