Oxford and Cambridge have confirmed the line-ups for their respective Trial Eights crews which will race on Thursday 13th December. Racing on the same day for the fourth year running, the Oxford trial will race first at 11:10am, with Cambridge following at 12:25pm on the actual Boat Race tide.
This is the only opportunity either side have to race the full course from Putney to Mortlake with the Race Umpires, so provides an important test for rowers and coxes alike; and allows both sets of coaching teams to analyse their squads progression and potential.
