Oxford were beaten by Cambridge in the virtual Boat Race
OXFORD lost to Cambridge in the virtual Boat Race as the two teams raised thousands of pounds for charity.
The star-studded crews collectively rowed 6.8km on machines at home, with both smashing their £5,000 target within hours of Saturday’s event finishing.
The money will go to Power2Inspire, which aims to boost inclusion through sport.
Oxford’s team included three-time Olympic champion Pete Reed, who was paralysed from the chest down after a spinal stroke last year.
Reed was joined by several big names, including Paralympic gold medallist Grace Clough and world champion Oliver Cook.
Cambridge’s team included Olympic champion Tom Ransley.
