University Challenge, which can make a splash (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boat race

This clue is a double definition.

'university challenge' is the first definition.
(race between Oxford and Cambridge universities)

'which can make a splash' is the second definition.
(race which takes place in water)

(Other definitions for boat race that I've seen before include "varsity match" , "Sports event" , "famous row" , "Oxford and Cambridge take part in one" , "Oxbridge contest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
