John Keenahan wins the Paddy Sharkey Perpetual Memorial Cup















The Paddy Sharkey Perpetual Memorial Cup was held yesterday on Lough Gara.
The weather was kind and some good fish were caught. It was a great turnout with 69 anglers competing on the day. It seems that this time home advantage somehow must have came into play with many of our own members on the Leaderboard. Here's the results:

The winner was local man John Keenahan with his cracking fish of 23lbs. 8oz.
2nd: "Scottish" John Ferris ( Boyle), 17lbs 8oz
3rd: Patrick Egan (Boyle), 12lbs 6oz.
4th: Bodo Funke (Boyle), 10lbs 6oz.
Joint 5th: Declan Conroy (Boyle) & Ray Gillen (Cliffony) 9lbs. 7 oz.
6th: Mick Flanagan (Mullingar) 7lbs 6 oz.

Ladies section:
1st: Lucy Garvin (Boyle), 12lbs 4oz.
2nd: Helena Mulligan (Ballyglass)1lbs 8oz.

Juniors:
1st: Gary Nicholson (Boyle) 3lbs.
2nd: Daniel Quinn (Boyle) 2lbs.4oz.


Well Done to all of the competitors.

A good night was to be had afterwards in Scanlons Riverside Bar were the presentation took place.
A special Thank you goes to Gerry Quinn and all his staff at Scanlons' Riverside Bar for their hospitality.
Also Thank you to the Sharkey Family for all their input into this event once again.

And as was mentioned last night, Congratulations go to Martin and Jane Suffin on their 25th wedding anniversary.
