Ben previously coached Wallingford Boat Club and is looking forward to his return to Christ Church:

"They say you can never cross the same river twice. But while personnel have changed, and boats that won headships now lie on the lower racks, the spirit of both college and students feels very familiar, and I’m looking forward to getting out on the water with the current crews."
