Deeply inspired by Matt's efforts this year. Thanks very much, Martin, for getting him on so soon. Just a quick pointer - looks like you have a typo in the title of this video. Crossy's Orner, should be Corner. I did keep chuckling at the "English sparkling wine" phrase that the BBC were using at the prize giving, and now Matt. "Ooooooo we can't call it champagne if it's not made in that region you know!!" I loved Matt's beautiful comment, after speaking about his mother's support in helping him see that he has more potential, "eleven years later you can drool on national television", was a lovely humorous and self-aware touch.
From another first set maths, bottom set PE kid… who also tried rowing at a local club and went on to row Lightweight for Cambridge… I’m glad you had Matt on the show… great to hear his insights and learn more about a ‘Boatrace hero’!
So glad that CUBC shared this link, as I've been itching for these insights to an extraordinary race and engrossing drama, so thanks to both of you for this quenching interview! Matt and the crew were impressively smooth for the Dutch clash (aptly called) which I was lucky to follow on a launch. That solid smoothness prevailed against Oxford, who were forced to fluster. Respect for going deep for the win, and it was astonishing that Oxford barely closed in. Pre-race vomiting was surely a significant factor in depleting the tank. Great to hear Matt discuss racing lightweight too, which I did when the separate clubs seemed sadly hostile, before stroking Goldie with Bracey's father in the dramatic Disqualification race... P to BB ;) Dobs Vye

Respect
Thanks, Martin and Matt - a good explanation and discussion
Stroke is the most exhausting position. very easy to get exhausted before the rest of the crew.
Well done Matt! Winning the Boat Race at stroke is an amazing achievement!
Great interview Crossy
Who did you cheer for when a kid
As a Cambridge born I hope it wasn’t ox
Matt - you gave a great account of yourself. Congratulations.
Martin - I thought your questioning was needlessly aggressive in many places.
Appreciate the fb 👍
