 The women's trials took place on The Championship Course on 10 December 2015. Umpired by Rob Clegg, the Oxford boats, Scylla and Charybdis took part in a "phenomenal race". After an even start, Scylla held a one-length lead by Craven Cottage, extending it to two lengths by Hammersmith Bridge. As conditions worsened past Chiswick Eyot, Charybdis, stroked by OUWBC president Maddy Badcott, began to close the gap and took the lead around the second of the Surrey bends, to win the encounter by three lengths.
