 14-16 April, 2006. Dragon boat crews from all over Australia made their way to the Nagambie Regatta Centre in Victoria, to compete at the AusDBF National Dragon Boat Championships. The format of these championships comprise of a State series (500m on day 1) and a Club series (500m on day 2 and 200m on day 3). Winners of the State series earn the right to represent Australia at the next IDBF World Championships, whilst the top 3 clubs in each category of the Club series earn the right to represent Australia at the next IDBF Club Crew World Championships.
In only their second appearance at these championships the ACCA dbRacing Team powered their way into the finals of the 200m Premier Mixed Division, to once again become one of the top 3 dragon boat racing crews in Australia.
Once again NSW dominated these events:
- State Vs State - with placings in each of the Premier Divisions
- Club Vs Club - 1st & 2nd in each of the Premier Divisions
Friday: State Series
Five of our very own (Magoo, Matt, Mark, Suzy & Nicky) were selected to represent NSW at these championships. Congratulations!
Our State Crew has now qualified to represent Australia at the 7th Asian Dragon Boat Championships at Macau, later this year in September.
