A belated post-race report following our recent DB Lovers Dragon Boat Races here in Sai Kung, on 1st May 2016. This was our first racing event of the season, and our third time competing in the event. We are pleased for them, that the event grows in size every year. This event is only for racing short dragon boats and we were pleased to be able to put forth two balanced short boat teams again this year. It is so important to us as a team to not have an "A" team and a "B" team as we have always run on participation and teamwork -- this is all you need to become a Dragonfly!
We placed competitively against ten other teams from the Sai Kung community. The teams were mostly unknown to us, which was exciting, but it was hard for us to gauge how we would place. Our two teams managed to qualify for the Gold and Silver cup finals, which was a fantastic result!

We are now counting down to our second racing event, the Stanley Warm-Up Races, this Saturday. It will be a much bigger event, with over a hundred Mixed teams competing. We are, however, more familiar with this event, and are confident that we will continue to do well.
As teachers, we have been talking with our students a lot about appreciation this week, as our students are engaging in a number of collaborative projects that require group work in order to support one another's successes. It is fitting, also, that as a team, we have been thinking a lot about what has gotten us here so far, and what will carry us through for the remainder of this season.
A huge "thank you" goes out to our sponsors. Tsunami Sport, Casa Tapas Bar, APA Soccer Schools, i-Land, and Blue Sky Sports Club. Your sponsorship and support of our team enable us to continue participating in these top tier events.
Thanks, also, to our family and supporters both near and far. We will continue to update you both here and on our Facebook page on our results as the season unfolds!
ARE YOU READY?
Paddles IN!!
