In photos - Cambridge win Boat Race

Underdogs Oxford make the better start and have a small lead over their rivals by Hammersmith Bridge

But Cambridge battle back and go under Barnes Bridge in front and on course for victory

Oxford are unable to respond and Cambridge cross the finish line at Mortlake to win by just over a length

It is Cambridge's first Boat race triumph since 2004 and the crew are unable to contain their delight

In keeping with tradition, the winning Cambridge team throw their cox Rebecca Dowbiggin into the water

The victory is a sweet moment for Dowbiggin, who is aiming to win a gold medal at the 2012 Olympics

Cambridge now lead the overall series, which dates back to 1829, by 79-73 with one dead heat
