L-attenzjoni tas-segwaċi tal-isport Malti llum tkun fil-Port il-Kbir hekk kif issir edizzjoni oħra tal-aktar Regatta importanti dik tradizzjonali ta’ Jum il-Vitorja. Għal darba oħra, id-dwell ewlieni għar-rebħ tax-Shield mistenni jkun bejn Bormla, Birgu u l-Isla, b’taqtigħa missielta mistennija bejn aktar distretti f’Kategorija B.

Sena ilu, kienu proprju l-Birgu u Bormla li spiċċaw bl-istess ammont ta’ punti biex ħadu x-Shield għal sitt xhur kull wieħed. Minkejja s-suċċess riċenti, il-Birgu qed timmira li tirbaħ ix-Shield waħedha għall-ewwel darba mill-1984, Bormla għandha l-għan ewlieni li tilħaq ir-rekord ta’ 23 rebħa li bħalissa jinsab għand l-Isla filwaqt li s-Sengleani jittamaw li jibqgħu jżommu r-rekord.

Id-distretti parteċipanti baqgħu tmienja jiġifieri Birgu, Birżebbuġa, Bormla, Isla, Kalkara, Marsa, Marsamxett u Siġġiewi. Fil-maġġoranza tat-tlielaq saru diversi bidliet fl-ekwipaġġi mir-Regatta ta’ Marzu li għadda.

Il-programm baqa’ l-istess bħal tal-aħħar edizzjonijiet iżda l-ewwel tellieqa bl-ewwel tellieqa tkun it-tellieqa tan-nisa li tibda f’12.00pm. Imbagħad isegwu ħames tlielaq kull wieħed fil-Kategorija B u l-Kategorija Open li jalternaw ma’ xulxin. Il-poloz tal-korsiji jitilgħu llum fil-11.00am.

Fatt interessanti li fil-Kategorija Open, l-ekwipaġġi rebbieħa fil-ħames tlielaq fir-regatta ta’ Marzu li għadda kollha ma nbidlux. Sitwazzjoni ftit differenti f’Kategorija B, b’uħud mill-ekwipaġġi rebbieħa f’Marzu nbidlu ftit u oħrajn inżammu.
