Relive all the action from two thrilling boat races between Cambridge and Oxford

Cambridge rower says it's an 'unbelievable feeling' after double win over Oxford

Cambridge produced two spectacular performances to secure a double win over Oxford in the 2024 Boat Race.

Both the men’s and women’s crews raced through to convincing wins over their old rivals on a sunny afternoon in the capital.

Much of the build-up to the races had been dominated by the condition of the water in the Thames, but once the day got underway it was the quality of the Cambridge racing that stole the show.

The women, led by cox Hannah Murphy, clawed back an early Oxford lead and roared ahead after a controversial incident in which the two boats nearly collided.

The men’s team, buoyed by a particularly inspiring shift from stroke Matt Edge, put in a similarly impressive performance, roaring to an early lead and maintaining it throughout the race to finish with a lead of three-and-a-half lengths.
