Hardy & Greys - Alnwick, England

Jackie Lennox Cup

Cathal Hughes has won the Jackie Lennox Cup fished on Inniscarra Reservoir. The two day match was decided on total weight, with an open draw taking place each day.

On day 1, Cathal fished both pole and feeder from peg 7 on Rooves Bay to win the day with over 22kgs of Roach and Skimmers.

Peg 2, again on Roves Bay, was a favourable draw for the second day and Cathal made no mistakes. After a slow start on the feeder, he decided to concentrate on the pole where he caught over 320 Roach for over 20 kilos which was enough to win the day again.

Cathal's total weight of 43kgs was enough to win the two day match followed by Tommy Lawton in 2nd position with 33kgs and Charlie Greeves in 3rd with 28kgs.

Cathal said;

"This was my first time seeing this place and what a brilliant venue this is. Seemingly, two years ago there were very few Roach being caught and now the place is stuffed with them. In a couple of years the match weights are going to be phenomenal. The matches are very well run and you are made very welcome. Sincere thanks must also go to Duncan Lennox for sponsoring the event."
