League recruiting for new season as Appledore angler takes the honours in final match of the 2013-14 calendar.
A mullet of 3lb 6 ounces gave Appledore’s Andrew Atkinson first place in the North Devon league’s end of season Champion of Champions competition.
The final league standings saw Bideford A take the trophy with a points tally of 56 followed by Appledore on 43 and Barnstaple Rod ‘n’ Reelers on 42.
The AGM after the weigh in saw chairman Arthur Johns stand down from his position after many years of dedicated service to the league.
Damien Babb takes over as chairman and treasurer, but Arthur has been elected to the position of honorary president in recognition of his services.
