Rob's winning weight was only one fish in front of Phil's - for the record Rob took 268lb 12oz to Phil's 265lb 8oz. With fish going to mid doubles for both anglers, you would be hard pushed to ague it wasn't a very close match.

-Best fish of the day: Colin Wedgebrow 21lb Common Peg 13-

John Walker's 249lb 12oz was also only one Mid Double away from winning too, although it was good enough for an easy 3rd place from Peg 7. John fished a feeder and waggler across to the far bank. I expect Peg 7 to become a real cracker of a peg now that running line and rods are allowed at the Oxfordshire Complex.
