The "Great Eight" has been brought together by Bill Barry, legendary mastermind behind many recent Tideway Scullers' School Head of the River Fours triumphs.

The racing will start at 3.30 p.m. from the University Stone, Putney.

CUBC's fixture against this crew is a keenly anticipated test for the Blue Boat in its build-up for the 155th Boat Race between Putney and Mortlake on Sunday 29th March at 3.40pm.
