Mr & Mrs Fisher of Worksop & District AA organised the event, on their club water Sandhill Lake and later presented trophies and prizes to the youngsters at an assembly.

Martynas Orestas managed to win overall with 2lb 13oz, closely followed by Daniel Staves with 2lb 10oz and Josh Sleight with 2lb 3oz.

The George Fowler Trophy, for the smallest catch of the day was jointly won by Sharna Gregory and Coby Blower, who both weighed in ¼oz.

Better luck next time but remember it’s the taking part that counts.
