── Original Text

Who will take the big cup this year? 今年誰是盟主? Circus Stanley Dragon Boat Championships - 11 June 2005 赤柱龍舟錦標賽 - 6月11日 Over 3,000 paddlers raced in last year's Circus Stanley Dragon Boat Championships and with 13 race categories, there were cups and plates a plenty. Buzz took the big one last year with a time of 1:13. Other cup winners were the Royal X-Women, AIA Southside Massive, Lee Kum Kee B, Henley Group British Dragons, HKSS Old Boy's Club and The Hong Kong Sea School. This year the organisers have introduced an extremely popular Mixed category, which has received 45 entries. That means there'll be even more cups which is good news because everyone knows beer tastes better from a cup. 去年的赤柱龍舟錦標賽有超過3,000名龍舟健兒參加共13項盃賽及碟賽。「霸王龍」以1分13秒的佳績奪得馬爹利金盃。其他盃賽冠軍包括「香港遊艇會」,「AIA Southside Massive」,「李錦記B隊」,「英國龍」,「舊生匯」及「香港航海學校」。今年,主辦機構新增大受歡迎的男女混合組,報名隊伍多達45隊;換言之,今年的獎盃數目又會增加。真是天大的好消息,因為最好味的啤酒便是盛在獎盃裡的啤酒!

Who will take the big cup this year? Circus Stanley Dragon Boat Championships - 11 June 2005 Last year's Stanley Dragon Boat Championships had over 3,000 dragon boat athletes participating in a total of 13 cup and plate races. "Buzz" won the Martell Gold Cup with an excellent time of 1 minute 13 seconds. Other cup champions included "Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club", "AIA Southside Massive", "Lee Kum Kee Team B", "British Dragons", "Old Boys' Club" and "Hong Kong Sea School". This year, the organizers have added a highly popular mixed gender category, with as many as 45 teams registered; in other words, the number of trophies this year will increase again. This is incredibly good news, because the best-tasting beer is the beer served in a trophy!
