Double Headship
The 'Double Headship' is an accolade awarded to any college finishing with both their men's and women's crews at the 'Head of the River' in their respective divisions. Pembroke College is the only college to have achieved a Double Headship in Eights, having both men's and women's crews at the Head of the River in 2003.
A silver 'Double Headship Trophy' was commissioned from the silversmith Peter Musson in 2003, to commemorate the historic occasion. Pembroke College retains this trophy.

“Was it the double of my dream
The woman that by me lay
Dreamed, or did we halve a dream
Under the first cold gleam of day?”
