Leonard's Farm, Lough Gowna- 21 September 2008
Match report The first match of the winter league was a disappointment. With Lough Gowna fishing very well during the festivals every match stretch had visiting anglers and we eventually settled on Leonard's Shore, having visited Derries, Dernaferst and Church in the process. Bright calm conditions didn't help but Peter Fox eventually found small roach and a chunky hybrid on the feeder at 40 yards to finish well clear of the field and record his first club match win.
