Tied at 2-2, the Boat Race decided who shall be keeping the trophy. The first round of 5 drinkers resulted in a tie. Both the last drinkers for each team finished at the same time. Even a videocam analysis would no be able to decide conclusively at that very moment. So, one more drinker from each side was called for the showdown. Surendran stepped to the fore, *all eyes on him now*, and guzzled down his beer and won the Boat Race and most importantly, the trophy for Malacca Bar!
