Racing head to head in a 30ft Hong Kong style Dragon boat where the drummer beats out a rhythm for the ten paddlers has become a regular event in support of The Anthony Nolan Trust which provides lifesaving donors for patients in need of a bone marrow transplant. The Cresswell Crusaders team of eleven entered for the first time and after a slow start gained momentum finishing with the fastest overall time in heats.

They then went on to win the semi-finals and finally beat the Virgin Active team in the final to become event champions.
