Bħalma hi tradizzjoni ta’ kull sena f’dan il-jum fil-Port il-Kbir, l-attenzjoni fix-xena sportiva llum iddur fuq ir-Regatta. Din ir-regatta hi l-aktar waħda bi storja u ħafna distretti parteċipanti jqisuha bħala l-kulminu ta’ sena ħidma. Id-distretti parteċipanti baqgħu tmienja jiġifieri Birgu, Birżebbuġa, Bormla, Isla, Kalkara, Marsa, Marsamxett u Siġġiewi.
Kif seħħ fl-aħħar snin, id-dwell għar-rebħ tax-Shield mistenni jkun bejn it-tlett ibliet tal-Kottonera, jiġifieri Bormla, Birgu u l-Isla. Sena ilu, il-Birgu rnexxielhom jirbħu x-shield f’Settembru ta’ Jum il-Vitorja għall-ewwel darba f’40 sena wara dwell mal-Isla, bid-distrett ta’ Bormla kkuntenta bir-rebħ tax-shield f’Kategorija B.
Il-Ġirbin rebħu wkoll ir-regatta ta’ Marzu li għadda. Il-Bormliżi għandhom l-għan ewlieni li jilħqu r-rekord ta’ 23 rebħa li bħalissa jinsab għand l-Isla, bis-Sengleani jittamaw li jżommu r-rekord. Wieħed irid jara wkoll x’se jkun l-irwol tad-distretti l-oħra li normalment fi tlielaq partikolari kapaċi jirbħu xi palju u b’hekk itellfu l-punti lill-akbar sfidanti. Normalment dawn id-distretti meqjusa żgħar, ikunu aktar armati f’Kategorija B li fl-aħħar snin dejjem kienet missielta.
Fit-tellieqa tan-nisa, il-koppja Shazel Grima u Glynis Mizzi jimmiraw li jtawlu s-sensiela ta’ rebħiet konsekuttivi wara li f’Marzu li għadda bidlu l-klabb u ngħaqdu ma’ Marsamxett din is-sena. L-ewwel tellieqa tkun proprju dik tan-nisa li tibda fis-1.00pm. Imbagħad isegwu ħames tlielaq kull wieħed fil-Kategorija B u l-Kategorija Open li jalternaw ma’ xulxin.
