Cambridge today won another epic 150th Boat Race – reversing the trend of the last two years.

The two crews clashed oars several times at the Fulhan Bend, with Oxford bowman Chris Kennelly missing several strokes.

Oxford cox Acer Nethercott lodged a formal complaint at the end of the race, but Umpire James Behrens did not uphold the complaint.

After the race he said: "It’s a bitter disappointment to have the 150th Boat Race decided in this way, it’s truly gutting."

Sebastian Mayer of the winning Cambridge crew said: "We knew we could win it – we believed it all the way. It is unbelieveable."
