The Ryder cup was held on Bohernabreena Reservoirs on the 27th August. It proved to be a tough day with only a few rainbows weighed in along with some nice brown trout.

Gary Coakley made it 2 in a row with 2 nice brown trout; well done Gary in a tough day.

Dave canning was 2nd and John O’Neill third. Cathal McDonnell won the special weight.

With neither Gerry nor Tom earning any points the position at the top of the leaderboard remains unchanged as we head into the final competition of the season next weekend.

Hipwell has a chance of unseating El Presidente, Heaslip but he will have his work cut out for him. Tom will need a 9 point gain on Gerry. Technically it is possible, and stranger things have happened, but Gerry looks very safe this year and it would be a complete shocker if he was not crowned Angler of the Year 2023. The McCarron Cup will be fished on Owel next Saturday 23rd September from 10am weather permitting.
