Hunter Wellingtons Boot news on Cambridge Boat Race Win over Oxford

Hunter Wellingtons have been involved in the Cambridge vs. Oxford varsity boat race since the early 1970's.  This year marked 156th race between the two University teams creating a spectacular social event for all. Cambridge traditionally wears Green Hunter Originals while their Oxford adversaries wear Navy blue. 

Oxford known as the Dark Blues, were the favourites to win this year with a strong start at the beginning of the race and looked set to making it three wins in a row on the Thames.  The crews clashed blades at the Hammersmith bend but Oxford failed to keep their lead.  Cambridge made their move after Chiswick Steps, going on to win by one and a-half lengths in 17 minutes and 35 seconds.

Victory for Cambridge now means they have 80 wins to Oxford's 75 with one dead heat.  This historic event was started in 1829 and continues to be one of the greatest rowing events to watch.
