This year we had a welcome return to Minehead. We were not disappointed with the Quality fishing with many Conger, Tope and Smoothounds being caught. The weather was really kind to us allowing us to fish the planned grounds. We were very pleased to welcome seven anglers from the Irish section.

It was very close scoring on most boats will anglers winning by a point or two, at the presentation no one was quite sure who had won with two anglers getting the maximum 200% on count back with the gold pin going to Irelands Rob Troy with England's Ray Barron taking silver and Irelands Roy Shipway taking bronze.

Congratulations must be given to the Irish section for having 3 anglers in the top four with Shay O'Neil taking fourth place.
