Deele Community Anglers CLG.
Mongorry Trout Lake.
Heat 1 “Master of Mongorry” 26 Sponsored by FROG CIC.
Competition Sponsor: Brownes Autos Ltd
Yesterday afternnoon, the Deele Community Anglers hosted a very well-supported and successful Master of Mongorry Winter League Angling Competition at our Trout Fishery in Raphoe. Credit to all the participants who came along to support our event.
The weather conditions were dull, overcast, with a mix of drizzle, and remained as such throughout the entirety of the competition.

First of all, we would like to thank our sponsor of the main event, Brownes Autos Ltd, special thanks to Shaun for sorting this out for us, your support of Club events, once more, is most welcome and appreciated by all of the members. Thank you also to Joe and Damien for the sponsorship of this Heat, cheers lads.

The angling action was broken at times during the event, mainly due to the low cloud cover and the sudden drop off in air temperatures. However, some anglers got in on the action from the off, with a few others managed to tag on trout thereafter. The field of competitors had a look of major experience about it, with a heavy sprinkling of International, and Ulster Youth Team members . It was a tight day for some of the other more experienced anglers, who struggled to get out of the traps. However, at the interval it was still all to play for.
As the afternoon wore on the trout went off the take, proving a difficult day for some, who managed to cross the finish line near empty handed, I suppose that's fishing, even the best of us can sometimes fail to register. Anyway, not to dwell on the minor points (to some).
Congratulations to our podium finishers.
1st. Harry Whoriskey
2nd. Finn Kelly
3rd. Cillian "Bob" Kelly
Again, thank you to all who took part, donated, or sponsored the Competition. Additionally, an extra word of thanks to Brian (Bud) Barnett and Paul Kelly, for his control duties during the event, smooth as clockwork.
Thank you to Mr. David “Ramsey” Scott for his supply of freshly cooked hot sandwiches.
Next Competition event will take place on Sunday the 22nd of November.
Until the next time, stay safe everyone.
Thank you.

And what about this for another success story?

The young folks in Killybegs had another great day out yesterday. Their latest Blue Beyond Borders delivery ends tomorrow. It's been another top notch week for everyone and we are so proud of everyone that has been involved. Killybegs is such an interesting spot - with so much potential beyond our Peacebuilding Through The Environment project. So watch this space!

Looking forward to more photos of the final day tomorrow!

BFFI 27: "Youth-Trip Fundraiser"
Well what a wonderful event we today at the home of FROG CIC, along the banks of the River Dennett in Co. Tyrone.
The Duck Derby fundraising works we have been engaged in during recent weeks, has certainly went a long way in making a serious dent in the cost of our planned trip in February, to Stafford.
We would like to thank all who contributed in any way, as well as thank the volunteers who went out and sold ducks. A massive thank you to the lads of FROG CIC for permitting us the use of their splendid Outdoor Education venue, for our event.
Indeed, the day in itself, was far from just a duck derby. There was potato gathering, tree planting, to help improve soil and water quality, and a wonderful river-walk, with an abundance of nature to learn from.
A big shout out to Cathy at Hilltop Cafe, for the provision of the wonderful food-boxes, as well as Lee for supplying the delicious ice-cream. Not a crumb of either was left-over.
The event was made possible with the help of a number of groups providing the volunteer effort. Thank you to the "Dennett Valley Plough On" group for helping us to dig the spuds, in the Green-Clubs garden, a sustainability project our youth members were part of via the North West Regional College. Thank you to the lads of the Dennett Anglers Association, who came out to aid us, as well as the lads from the Dennett Valley Men's Shed.
Also, a major thank you to all of our own Committee, and members, for making the trip across the Foyle, with up to 50 people in attendance over the course of the day.
Duck Derby results:
1st: Emmet White-€100.00.
2nd: Megan Murray-Frog Coat/Cap.
3rd: Cathy Mc Combe-Cap/Mug.
4th: Shaun Brownes-Cap/Mug.
5th: Paul Hilley-Cap/Mug
6th: Cap/Mug
And the poor wee duck last home was: Lisa Mc Daid-€30.00.
Many thanks
Yours
The Directors
