A strong contingent of 42 paddlers traveled to the west coast of Australia to compete at the Australian National Dragonboat Championships held at Champion Lakes Regatta Centre, Perth between 17/04/15 and 18/04/15. CYL achieved its best Nationals results to date:
A rainy Saturday morning greeted paddlers at the NSW State Championships 2015, Penrith - the final NSW race for the 2014/15 season. This is one of the toughest races on the calendar being 500m, and all clubs wanting to finish the NSW season on a high.
NSW State Championships - 04/04/15 - 500m
Premier Opens - 1st (2:01.09)
Premier Womens - 5th (2:21.30)
Premier Mixed Black - (2:03.13)
Congratulations to the Premier Opens crew for taking out 1st place! This is the first time since 1996 which our club has won the State Championships.
Special mention must also go to the Premier Womens crew for valiantly paddling 5th in their final - their best result at State Championships in recent memory.
