Many congratulations to George Bourne and the rest of the team for winning the men's Boat Race.
After a delay to the start of the men's race because of debris on the River Thames in London, Cambridge took control from an early stage to win by 17 seconds/5.5 lengths. It was their third successive win and sixth victory in seven years.
The Oxford and Cambridge men's crews were closely matched for the first couple of minutes before a Cambridge surge took them clear.
George said: "We had such a nice press as we came past Fulham Football Club. We were really relaxed, really calm. Our cox, Ollie Boyne was doing a great job. Luca Ferraro and Douwe de Graaf were starting to set the rhythm and you could feel yourself moving away, which is the best feeling in the world."
