"I don't know who decided to put nine people from each college in a boat and see who can go backwards the fastest. But we might as well be the best at it."

Paul Kelly, former head coach

What time is it? Regatta season!

This weekend three Wolfson women’s racing crews took on Kingston Regatta.
After bravely avoiding sunburns waiting in their boats on the Thames, both 4+ crews had a strong showing in their semi’s with our racers in Hermione making a competitive finals appearance.
In the evening, the 8+ continued the long, sunny and powerful day of racing heading straight into finals, seeing some of this year’s novices making their external regatta debuts.

Watch out everybody, these wolves look like they’re just warming up (woof woof)! ☀️🚣‍♀️

HRR qualifiers 2025⁣
⁣
With a 3rd iteration of the Wolfson-Univ composite we tried qualifying for the Temple Challenge Cup. Unfortunately we did not make the cut this year. A heavy headwind (the pictures don't do it justice) highlighted that we normally have the privilege of rowing on a very calm stretch. We will be back next year!! ⁣

Some silverware for our composite with @univbc 🎉

Ahead of HRR qualifiers they went to Marlow regatta for some exciting 8 lane side by side racing and won the tier 3 university pennant. Wish them luck for Henley next Friday!

You thought our Summer VIIIs story was over, but this is only the beginning.

We proudly present our fourth boats for the 2025 campaign. Whether tearing up the Isis or the Wolfson Bar tonight, you can count on these crews to deliver.

The future of WCBC is looking strong!

A dramatic week of racing may be over, but there's still time to reveal more crews in the mighty Wolfson fleet!

Our third boats may have plenty of green blood, but it also needs to be ice cold to face off the competition and maintain the enviable position of third boat headship.

Don't be surprised if you see many of these guys tearing up even higher divs next season.

With the top dogs out of the way, let us introduce the loyal hounds which form our second eights.

Don't let those friendly faces fool you - these wolves have seen their fair share of carnage, and are ready to scrap their way through the bowels of division 3 with unparalleled tenacity.

Catch them if you can tomorrow at 15:15 (women) and 15:45 (men), distinguished by their striking purple shirts and visors, or bright yellow bucket hats.
