The evening of Wednesday 7th August saw the annual Marymas Competition fished on the loch. Some 16 anglers participated and a sum amounting to £80.00 was raised and donated to the Britannia Hall Committee. Fishing was difficult as the loch has been affected by an Algae bloom and unusually heavy weed growth this year. A number of good fish were seen but these proved difficult to tempt to the fly. Only five anglers each returned one fish at the weigh-in.

A delighted Les was declared the winner and presented with the Marymas Annual Trophy. He was even persuaded to remove his Midge Net for the photograph
