With both men's and women's crews having impressed in victories over other colleges' A crews, it was left up to the women to show Keble's colours on the final day of racing. First up was Brasenose A, a crew which had been training six times a week and ranked among the favourites for the competition. The verdict? Four lengths to Keble.

Nonetheless, it was a superb run for the women's novices and they have every reason to hold their heads high. A lot of these rowers will be going straight into the First Eight for Torpids and from here their form looks highly encouraging.
