Results so far for 2008:

Its been a funny year so far with only a few people turning out for matches. This has been in part due to the  national team of 4 Triana league which is running and has 4 of our anglers in it competing and doing well as Team Greys Galway. However that said we have had quite a few Juniors turning up and the 2 Junior Tuition days we have run saw around 14 Juniors introduced to the sport and of those 14 the ones who came back and fished matches since have done very well. Its obvious that the few hours training pays off and gives the young anglers the confidence to fish a full match without a senior angler helping them along all the way. Thanks to Cathal Hughes (Greys Galway) and Arunas Mlecka for their help with the juniors as they gave up their free time, tackle and bait to help the lads catch a few.

Also a special thanks to Dorothy from Clondanagh Cottage B&B near Tulla in Clare.  We had called Dorothy about coming down to fish a match on Clondanagh lake to see if she could help. Well she did - and sorted us out with a key to the car park, access to the private stretch of shore on the lake and gave us all the bait we needed to pre bait the swims on the lake prior to fishing. So we pre-baited a few swims that we put the juniors on, and then they caught fish while the rest of us (except Martin Davitt) struggled. All in all though we had a great day and a few decent fish were caught and its all thanks to Dorothy. Clondanagh Cottage B&B specialises in catering for anglers and you can find details of the service that Dorothy offers anglers here:
