Anyone about to settle down to watch this?

Really hoping for a change in fortune for the Oxford women this year.

Well done, Cambridge. Oxford just didn't make enough of their initial advantage.

Hopes pinned on the men now!

Just back from the river to watch the men's at home- very breezy down there!

Oxford supporter here - I missed the start of the women's race but it looked like they were v far behind by the end of it. No doubt Cambridge played some dirty trick to win by such a margin... Grin

Oh that was a good strategy by the Cambridge cox

Bold move seems to have paid off for Cambridge so far.

What are Cambridge being warned for?

Goodness me this is a hard watch

What are Cambridge being warned for?

Moving away from their racing line. There is potential for a collision if Oxford catch up

bellabelly · 26/03/2023 17:08

Come on, Oxford - don't give up!

VooVooV · 26/03/2023 17:08

It’s a cracking race

This is one of those races that if you weren't a fan of rowing before it'll have you hooked!
