Head of The River Crews
1st & 3rd Trinity men rowed over each day to retain the Lents headship won from Caius in 2006. It is the first time they have held it for two consecutive years.
1st & 3rd Trinity women also rowed over every day to retain the headship, their second ever.
1st & 3rd Trinity continued to hold a double headship, the only club other than Caius ever to achieve this, and are the first club to defend a double headship successfully.
