In what was a major challenge for all rowers as strong winds made for turbulent seas, a truly extraordinary moment came when Birgu and Bormla both won the Victory Day National Regatta as a result of having the same amount of points in the Open Category. This would mean that the Shield will be split between both clubs, six months a piece.

The raw, emotional video shows Birgu Regatta Club fanatics in a moment of pure happiness as rowers Clayton ‘Is-Sigra’ and Clyde ‘Il-Fiffi’ secure the first place spot.
