Everyone else is doing Boat Race GAs, so I thought I'd give one a go.

Lead

• Might it be worth wikilinking Goldie (Cambridge University Boat Club) as "Goldie" in the lead as well as the body, so people don't miss it?

  Linked. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:36, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Background

• I assume some coaching team members are given as just initials because the source doesn't specify their full names.

  That's right, I've usually done this as a last resort because no Google searches or literary sources I have specify more than that. It's all a bit public school of course... The Rambling Man (talk) 13:36, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

• The sentence listing the coaching teams is a bit long. It might be better to split it so that Oxford and Cambridge get a sentence each.

  Split as suggested. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:36, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Race

• Do we really need a comma between "year" and "and" in the opening sentence? It flows quite well for me.

  No, I've removed it. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:36, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Summary

• I can't think of anything else, this is good. I'll put the review on hold so the issues above can be addressed. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 11:51, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

  Many thanks, I hope I've addressed all your concerns. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:36, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

  Looks good to me. I've got no idea what on earth is going on here and here but I'll pass the review now. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 13:53, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
