Wednesday September 15, 2010

What a way to end a great season - The GWN Premier Women reclaimed their title as the Women's A Division Champions at the GWN Dragon Boat Challenge this past weekend at Marilyn Bell Park.

Qualifying in first place after the heats on Saturday, the team was eagerly ready to perform at their best in the final race of their season. With a time of 2:09.60, they fought off the competition all the way down the race course and pulled out a phenomenal finish. Check out the results and video footage of the race here.

The team also participated in the "Rock the Boat" 200m races on Friday night and also emerged as the champions, winning a great set of beer mugs!

What a great season it has been! The team would like to first thank their title sponsor, GWN Dragon Boat, for supporting them this season, especially through the journey to Macau for the CCWCs. We would also like to thank our friends and family for attending our events and buying t-shirts and raffle tickets to support our fundraising efforts. We couldn't have done it without you!

Next up... our Annual General Meeting on Sunday November 7th. Anyone interested is welcome to come out, meet the team and coach and get more info on how to be a part of the GWN Premier Women. Please contact us here for more info.
