The 2014 Season Comes to an End with the Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival

The Killarney Dragon Boat Racing Club finished another season on the weekend racing as the Clarkdale Jetta Dragons at the Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival. Two fabulous days of camaraderie, friendship and racing. We didn't end as well as we had hoped but none of that matters when we see know we did our best, paddled our hearts out and had fun. Two 5th place finishes on Saturday put us into the C/D/E Divisional Semi Final on Sunday morning. We place as the top 3rd place finisher of the 3 heats and found ourselves in the C final by 3 seconds. The C Division proved to be very competitive and we placed 7th in the final. Not where we had hoped to be, but satisfied with our effort and team spirit.
