gerry mahony who has refound his love of casting again

with the lads from limerick , the north and willie mills coming up from kerry it certainly is getting better with the whole country getting involved .

it was a great day out and i got a nice bit of sunburn

A cracking day at the hill with another great turnout.
Conditions: Wind/ Cyclonic SW/S 5-12mph, some light showers early on and a cross wind that developed later in the day.
The Format: 4 casts on 175/150/125 and one round of DEATH on the 100g making the day quite interesting for the agg scoring.
