Cambridge win Boat Race

Pre-race favourites Cambridge overcome Oxford by around six lengths to win the 162nd Boat Race on the River Thames.

The 162nd annual Boat Race on the River Thames has been won by the Cambridge crew.

The students from the East Anglia-based university were rated as the pre-race favourites by the bookmakers and they lived up to that billing.

With 1km remaining, Cambridge held a two-length lead over their Oxford counterparts and they went on to extend that by around a further four lengths prior to crossing the finishing line unchallenged.

The victory means that Cambridge have also lengthened their overall lead on Oxford to 82-79, with one dead heat.
