Aberdeen take boat race title

-

Aberdeen University triumphed in the 25th Aberdeen Standard Investment­s Boat Race.

The 3.5km race along the River Dee was one of the few sporting events to go ahead in the north of Scotland on Saturday with football, rugby and shinty matches all postponed due to the coronaviru­s crisis.

The Aberdeen University Boat Club finished three seconds ahead of their Robert Gordon University counterpar­ts to defend the title.

AUBC president Katie Sugden said: “I’m thrilled that we retained the title in such an important year for the boat race.”
