Cambridge will once again be the most represented University at the Women’s Eights Head of the River Race this Saturday, with 25 crews racing. 3 of these crews will be representing Cambridge University Women’s Boat Club, the remainder from the various College Boat Clubs.
The 2 CUWBC crews selected for the forthcoming Cancer Research UK Boat Race will test their form ahead of the 24th March. The Club will also boat a 3rd 8 consisting of the openweight spares plus members of the CUWBC Development Squad who have been training with the College Boat Clubs and also alongside the CUWBC Squad.
