Any one travelling to this tomorrow give yourself a little bit of extra traveling time and expect an extra few cars on the local roads as the Ballycotton 10k road race is also on. This road race can attract a couple of hundred athletes. Even I'll be driving slower

thanks donal good imfo,,

Awful days fishing with only a handful of fish to the stick. Well done to Donal Domeney on his second place with 2 counting flounder. Rising seas, currents, winds and waves made life fairly hellish for the most part. 3 little turbot for me that even put nose to tail still wouldnt have made the 25cm minimum.... NO joke, they were minute. Well done to the 6(?) anglers who landed fish to size.

6 had fish. Noel Hegarty of Great Island won with a bass and a flounder......... and he won the pools for the longest fish AND won a prize in the raffle afterwards ( lucky, jammy, lucky )... ahem..well done Noel.
