Looking back at the 2025 Boat Races, it was almost a clean sweep for Cambridge – the only race Oxford won was the veteran women’s.
Sadly, a few weeks before the races on 13 April, the Light Blues’ preparations were disrupted when Oxford raised questions about whom in the Cambridge crew were allowed to race on Boat Race Day. About this and the trials, fixtures, the announcements of the crews and the race reports, HTBS covered in 19 articles.
If you think that you missed any of these articles, you will find them all here.
On a personal note, I was happy that photographer Mel Brown, of Mel Brown Studios, joined our team to cover the crews’ events both on and off the water. Many thanks, Mel!
