The dark blues beat their old rivals at Roehampton on December 6, the day that marked the women’s 50th race.
The men’s field spread out as the race unfolded over the traditional course before Oxford’s Chris Parker led team-mate Alex Gruen as he raced to the line near the Thames Hare & Hounds HQ to lead his university to another team victory.
Tom Wood followed up with a one-two-three for the Dark Blues before Cameron Deverill headed Cambridge’s hat-trick but they were chasing a lost cause as Oxford now play Cambridge with a 67-all win.
Hannah Andreychuk scored an Oxford double in the women’s race and her university also had a comfortable team victory over the Open Blues, their third in a row.
Peter Molloy won the old blues race for Cambridge but couldn’t stop Oxford winning that team race crowd game.
