The game, which precedes the Boat Race on the River Thames – which starts at 5.15 pm – is being played at Fulham Football Club’s ground at Craven Cottage.

Wherry (20), a Junior Muratti player while with St Paul’s, is studying at Lady Margaret Hall, a College of Oxford University, where is undertaking experimental psychology.
