THE Bohol Paddlers’ Association (BPA) Team A ruled the 200-meter Dragon boat exhibition matches last Saturday at the Polambato Wharf in Bogo City.
BPA-A won the exhibition match in 50.84 seconds, beating Team Bogo (52.07) in the finals. Cebu City’s Grupo Habagat failed to make the finals after losing the semifinals to Bogo, finishing in 55.88 seconds to Bogo’s 54.33.
Retired General Carlos Holganza, founder of the Cebu Dragon Boat Association (CBDA), expressed his satisfaction with the successful event.
“I am happy how the event turned out. I can see that there is more interest now,” said Holganza. Four teams joined the event, including two squads from BPA.
Holganza said they plan to hold another friendly dragon boat competition two months from now in Southern Cebu.
“We will be discussing our plans with the Cebu Provincial Sports Commission (CPSC). We could possibly hold it at SRP Talisay City,” said Randy Su, Habagat Outdoor Equipment proprietor and the co-founder of CBDA.
CBDA hopes that by the end of the year, they can already set regular competitions.
