Blood Over Water by David Livingston7/6/2023 That year the race was no real contest - Raymond was one of the finest oarsmen of his generation, and his crew beat Thomas' Dark Blues by a massive 20 lengths, the most decisive verdict in the history of the race. The last time brothers were in opposing boats was 1900 when Raymond Etherington-Smith was president of the Cambridge crew while his younger brother Thomas was a freshman at Oxford. His brother David, 19, has been promoted to the Oxford Blue boat after rowing in the reserve boat Isis last year. James, 22, was a member of the defeated Light Blue crew last year, and has twice rowed for the Goldie crew in the reserve race. The brothers are more used to rowing in the same teamÄavid and James Livingston will put brotherly love to one side on 6 April when they become the first brothers for 103 years to compete against each other in the Boat Race.
