On Monday 16 (Cambridge) and Wednesday 18 (Oxford) December, Cambridge and Oxford will race their annual Trial VIIIs races – their only chance over the full Putney to Mortlake Championship Course before race day. In two evenly matched boats, the clubs will battle it out in their traditional pre-Christmas match. If you want to see the clubs in action, check out whether the Olympians can cut it on the Tideway and see who has made the crews, head to our website to tune in. Coverage starts at 11.50 on Monday 16 December for Light Blue fans, and 13.20 on Wednesday 18 December for the Dark Blues.
