The 5th round of the Angling trust Oxford winter league was fished by 6 teams of 8 on the Kennet and Avon canal between Hungerford and Froxfield.  With a gin clear canal and overnight frosts then everyone feared that the canal would be very hard but it actually fished exceptionally well with 5lb needed to win each section. With 1 round to go both Drennan Oxford teams look set to qualify for the winter league final to be fished on the Fen drains and Decoy lakes in February.
