Pro
Lennox Head’s Mikey McDonagh competed at the Sri Lanka Pro event held at Arugam Bay.
McDonagh won his first heat but unfortunately scored a very difficult next round heat and just missed out on advancement.
He finished in equal 33rd place overall which has moved him up 30 places on the international WSL QS ratings ladder.
