Winning Gold on home waters!
Albury Regatta Success!
Another fantastic day for Brave Hearts on Sunday at the Albury Regatta, coming away with 7 trophies and some amazing “firsts” for paddlers, drummers, sweeps and teams.
Race day saw 56 Brave Hearts paddlers together with volunteers and officials, eager to race and support our club. We were so proud to watch our 15 Brave Hearts Juniors race in two boats, along with 7 other Rapids Juniors, in the first Junior Category Dragon Boats Victoria has ever had. All of the kids did an outstanding job and had so much fun!
Another highlight for the day was watching our full Open Men’s Crew battle it out to take the gold in the 200m final. For some of these men it was their first regatta, and this was the first full Open crew Brave Hearts have had for some time.
We were also so proud to see our very own fitness coach Narelle take on her first race day as a sweep and she did a fantastic job!
Overall we came home with 7 trophies:
Masters Mixed 20s 500m – third
Premiers Mixed 20s 500m – second
Womens 20s 2000m Sweeps Race – first
Masters Open 10s 200m – first
Junior Open 10s 200m (Rapids Blue) – first
Masters Womens 10s 200m – second
Open 20s 2000m Sweeps Race – third
Well done to all of our new paddlers, both junior and senior, on their first regatta and thankyou to every single Brave Heart for the enormous support you showed our team from the beach. That’s what makes this team so special! We now look forward to our Community Regatta on the 11th of November.
