Word Wrap



News and updates from Balliol College

May 2019


'This has been a fantastic year for the Balliol College Boat Club. The W1 crew won blades last term during the Torpids races, and two Balliolites earned Blues defeating Cambridge in the women’s Lightweight Boat Race. This term, we’ve been filming a video to celebrate the launch of the Balliol Rowing Fund. Now we’re competing in the all-important Summer VIIIs. The crews have trained hard, and we’re looking forward to seeing lots of you down at the river for the finals tomorrow!'
Moyo Tian (2015), BCBC President
