News and updates from Balliol College
 
 

May 2017


'Balliol College Boat Club had a very successful Summer Eights campaign in uncharacteristic, glorious sunshine. The club entered four men's and three women's boats. Each boat faced strong competition from the other colleges, achieving varying degrees of success in the lower divisions. The women's first boat remained in Division 1, giving hard fought performances on each day. We are especially proud of the men's first and fourth boats for winning blades! The men's first boat are the only men's first eight to win non-headship blades since the club's foundation in 1825.' 
Jonathan Martin (incoming BCBC President)
