| Ukraine were no match for a well-drilled Durham University & Leander crew who had no difficulty steadily increasing their early lead. The crews were well matched in weight | A great race to the Mile and One-Eighth post when Yale were just ahead. Thereafter they caught a crab - Yale stopped temporarily and Thames went on to win by 2¾ length |

| 2: Durham University & Leander | |
| V: ¾ length T: 2.07* 3.36* 7.27 | |

| Durham & Leander got off to a good start largely because of some erratic steering up the Island by Thames. By the ½ Mile, Thames had settled and mounted a determined challenge. The crews raced level for over 800 metres before Durham & Leander surrendered. An excellent race | |
