Row, row, row your boat not so much this term…
MT 2019 – Summary
Racing
For most of Wolfson College Boat Club, racing is why we do what we do. Our long-serving top men’s coach, Paul Kelly, may have put it best:
I don’t know who decided to take nine people from each college, put them in a boat, and see who can go backwards down the river fastest. But we might as well be the best at it.
Wolfson enters racing events throughout the year.
Below, you'll find all of our related website posts. Be sure to check back; we're adding more all the time!
WEHoRR 2018
Great is the race where all the crazy stuff happens *after* the finish line, and not before it.

Quintin Head 2017

Wallingford Head of the River 2016
With so many keen rowers in this year’s senior squads, Wolfson decided to end a long term of intense training with a fun day out racing at one of the most popular pre-Christmas head races.
Fours’ Head 2016
The day of Fours’ Head did not start great. It was bucketing rain, cold and miserable. For those who have not raced any of the big Tideway head races, they involve an infamous long wait on the water as hundreds of boats marshal up towards the start line and with only one boat being set off at a time, it can take hours to race. We arrived in London wrapped up warm for the cold, only to find that the rain had all but stopped and it was actually rather warm.
