Irish up and coming angler Shamie Winters from County Monaghan wins the Ballinamore Festival. Shamie fished a great festival with some good weights against tough competition which saw him take the lead on the final day with a 12kg catch at Connolly's Shore finishing with just under 50kg in total. Enniskillen Angler Tony Green's 7.250kg from Lough Scur wasn't enough to keep the top position he held all week and he finished second with 45.830kg. Runcorn angler Dave Stewart finished in third place with 49.470kg. In 4th was Wayne Fuller and 5th Mark Harris.
Katrina McGirr from sponsors Waterways Ireland presented the trophy and cash prize of €1000 to Shamie at the presentation evening at Terry Shorts Heritage Bar. The top five also received cash prizes along with numerous section winners.
The Festival next year will take place from Monday 28th May to Friday 1st June 2018.
