London 2012 Olympian Martin Stamper took Great Britain’s final medal tally at the Australian Open to three on the final day of competition in Melbourne.

Stamper won a bronze at -68kg after South Coast pair Max Cater (Southampton) and Ben Haines (Portsmouth) also finished third at -54kg and -74kg respectively 24 hours earlier.

But there was no podium place for the final member of the Manchester trained, GB Academy squad, Lutalo Muhammad.

A bronze medallist a week earlier at the European Games, Muhammad went out in the quarter-finals of the -80kg weight division.

Liverpudlian Stamper, at 28, the oldest member of the team, has made the most of his unexpected opportunities after 2014 European Championship bronze medallist, Ruebyn Richards, suffered a recent knee injury.

Stamper took his team mate’s place in Baku, reaching the quarter-finals, before adding to a vast medal collection-including a 2011 World Championship bronze- Down Under.

The dad of one dropped only three points in his first two bouts, scoring 24 in reply. In contrast, his semi-final show down against Joo-Seong Lee of South Korea proved a tighter affair and eventually went to golden point.

Lee progressed in sudden death but then had to settle for a silver medal in the final as Eduardo Longobardi of Spain claimed gold.

Muhammad’s first match was a 46 points attack-a-thon against Scott Casey of New Zealand before a 12-3 defeat against eventual bronze medalist, Wei-ting Liu of Chinese Taipei. Torann Maizerol of France finished with gold.

However, next month provides another medal shot as Muhammad, a psychology student, will attend the World University Games in Gwangju, South Korea from July 3-7. He also competed at the 2011 edition in China.
