It looks like the incident will be dismissed by the umpire, but we’re still waiting. The Oxford cox complains that Cambridge were in Oxford water when the two boats hit.

The umpire replies that his view is that Oxford were out of their water and had entered Cambridge’s water deliberately.

CAMBRIDGE WIN! A seventh consecutive win for Cambridge, who were underdogs at the start, and they’ve won by a convincing margin. The Oxford cox makes a formal complaint about the earlier incident, so we’ll await a formal classification of the result.

A bit of a procession as we approach the end of the race. The Oxford cox is still urging his crew on, but this will be a large margin of defeat. We’ve been racing for over 20 minutes now.
