The practice match for the Oxford winter league was fished by 34 anglers on the Thames at Sandford and Abingdon. The match was fished in blustery conditions on a very low and clear Thames where although the top weights were good, a lot of the areas fished very hard.

2nd Carl Eland - Drennan Oxford - 21lb 7oz. Carl drew next to the winner and had a similar bag of fish on similar tactics.
