The sixth and final round of the Oxford Summer League was held on the River Thames at Medley and Folly Bridge.
With the river clearing after the recent algae bloom, and very blustery winds, it was expected to be a harder match than recent but the river still fished very well, especially on the Medley sections.
Individual first place on the day went to in-form Tony Hobbs (Drennan Oxford Yellow) with 19lb 5oz. Drawn on Peg 2 below the Poplars, he fished 14m pole with worm and caster over chopped worm and caster feed for two bream and 12lb of roach and perch. This was Tony’s third match win of the series!
Second place went to his team mate Steve Townsend with 15lb 8oz from the bottom end peg at Medley. He had perch and roach on a 5m whip and maggot over groundbait and caster feed.
Third was John Williams with 13lb 4oz and Oxford’s Dave Kirk was fourth with 12lb 15oz.
Drennan Oxford Yellow were top team on the day with 39 points and worthy league champions.
The individual aggregate saw Drennan Oxford’s Tom Hobbs and Tony Hobbs both on 41 point, but it was Tom who got the verdict with four section wins over Tony’s three.
