Wins in both the men's and the women's events of The Boat Race 2023 made it a day to remember for Cambridge University.
The light blue rowers carried on their winning streak in the women's event with a convincing victory to make it an impressive five on the bounce.
It was a closer fought affair in the men's event after Oxford claimed their first win since 2017 last time out, but the dark blues couldn't defend their victory one year on.
That was, in large part, down to a moment of brilliance from Cambridge cox Jasper Parish who opted for an unusual line off the start.
Parish's crew, which included his brother Oliver, weren't expecting the move but heaped praise on their cox when celebrating at Mortlake after the race.
Despite his brilliance, Parish wasn't spared the usual dip in The Thames as has become The Boat Race tradition.
