What an incredible day. I am thrilled that all of our hard work paid off. You couldn’t ask for a better team to win with, and I am so proud of the culture that we built this year.

We’re incredibly proud of Holden and Joe in their victory against the Cambridge Spare Pair. The whole squad were there when they landed to spray them with fizz and congratulate them on their success.

David says “We’ve got guys who’ve won world championships and who are two-time Olympians rowing alongside first year undergraduates. It’s a real melting pot of personalities and people” #studentathletes

On the OUBC bus heading to Putney for Tideway Week. It feels good to be #BackInLondon for the 167th Men’s Boat Race. Just 6 more days until the final culmination of 6 hard months of training…

[Pete Reed OBE @PeteReed]

Thank you to you all for the support and well wishes after my last post from The Thames.

Thriving feels like wind and spray in your face again.

Great to be with my old coach Sean Bowden and to see these units in the Men’s Blue Boat 2022 for a bit.

[Martin Barakso @OubcPresident]

27 days until we battle on the Championship Course. We’re ready.

Congratulations to @OUWBCsquad with the Blue Boat winning all pieces against Leander and Osiris minimising their margin to Leander by a length each piece.
Next up, OUBC v Leander on 6th March.
42 days to go. #darkblue #oxford #theboatrace #rudern #rowing #remo #rudern #aviron

[Martin Barakso @OubcPresident]

This weekend marked the start of fixture season with both Isis and the 3V taking on @ImperialBoat to great success, with both boats winning all pieces.
Storm Eunice meant that the pieces took place on the ebb tide but much was learned that will stand us in good stead.

[Martin Barakso @OubcPresident]

It was great to return to head racing on the Tideway and to be able to support Barnabé and Roman compete from our base @OxfordUniSport. Next up, fixture season.

[Martin Barakso @OubcPresident]

A strong performance from the entire team and a great day of racing at the Upper Thames Autumn Head. Thank you to @Leander_Club for hosting us.

[Martin Barakso @OubcPresident]

It is extremely exciting that The Boat Race is returning to London on April 3, 2022. We have had a strong start to the season and Oxford is very much looking forward to racing again on the Championship Course.
