Cambridge University students on the River Cam taking part in the Suicide Sunday cardboard boat race to celebrate the end of exams on Sunday June 14th. Hundreds of students at Cambridge University ended their drunken end-of-exam celebrations today (Sun) by causing chaos in a CARDBOARD box boat race. Around 2,000 undergraduates watched as 40 teams battled it out in a boozy boat race along the historic Backs as part of the notorious Suicide Sunday events. Lots of participants struggled to navigate in a straight line as they downed bottles of wine and beer before getting into the homemade rafts made from cardboard, glue and gaffer tape. Students clapped and cheered along the route from Jesus Green to Magdalene Bridge as many of the boats quickly sank and the youngsters fell overboard. One of the flimsy rafts managed to hold 12 people, but most struggled to make it to the end of the course. Earlier in the day thousands of students attended the annual Suicide Sunday party at Anstey Hall in Trumpington, Cambs, which is organised by the notorious Wyverns' drinking society.
