The Werrington-based Cock Inn Angling Club fished the small carp lake at Kingsland Fishery on Sunday and making a welcome return to top of the list was Brian Hampson.

His winning weight of 74lb 1oz from peg 12 was taken down the margins on pole fished maggot.

Hampson is one of the older anglers at the club and used all that experience to show the younger guns how to win a match.
