Platt only the second angler to win Vintners’ Cup twice

Anglers from around Ireland and Europe competed in the Inniscarra Lake coarse angling festival, where Trevor Platt became only the second competitor to win the Vintners’ Cup twice.

The Mancunian alternated between a five metre whip and long pole short line at eight metres feeding a ball of ground-bait laced with casters every cast.

Meanwhile, Aire Roubos became the Celtic Challenge Shield winner on his first visit to the lake. The Dutch angler captured the largest three day festival weight of 69.95 kgs.
