St Cross College, Oxford

Crossfire ChristeningAfter a very successful weekend of rowing in the Torpids, St Cross christened the new Men's 2nd Boat for the Wolfson College Boat Club.

At a naming ceremony at the University College boathouse, which is used by Wolfson Boat Club, members from both Wolfson and St Cross gathered to drink a toast to the new boat.

"Crossfire", which is decked out in St Cross colours was given the name in recognition for the contribution that St Cross and its rowers make to the Wolfson Boat Club. After toasting the success of the new boat, she was then taken for a paddle down the river by a crew of 8 St Cross rowers all wearing the St Cross training kit: Clifford Sofield, Amy McLennan, Ian Hart, Hubert Bastide, Mariano Beguerisse Diaz, Ben Power, Brian Harrington & Stephanie Solywoda, with Dr Fernanda Pirie as cox.St Cross Rowers
