We are thrilled to report that the Pembroke College Boat Club (PCBC) Mens' First Eight recently qualified for Henley Royal Regatta. The student-only crew beat 50 international schools, colleges and universities to claim their chance to row.

Fending off large universities such as Bristol, Nottingham, Warwick, Sheffield, Manchester and Tufts, to gain the opportunity to compete at the most prestigious amateur regatta in the world is a remarkable achievement. We wish them the very best of luck!

Cox, Anna Carbery (Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2015), commented: ‘After a tough time trial against 50 other crews for just 9 spots on Friday, we're delighted to have qualified as the only single-college Oxford crew to race in Henley Royal Regatta, with our first race on Wednesday!’

They are racing at 4.10pm on Wednesday 28th June, tune in on YouTube to watch live.
