For the competitive spirits, the idea of claiming a grand trophy for the fastest team in the cup was all the incentive they needed.  This year’s theme was inspired by the local culture, featuring Australian animals in the Brisbane Indigenous language Yugara. The team names, Barrar (Kangaroo), Kubbi (Possum), and Mirri (Dingo) and Powai (Shark) paid homage to the unique Australian environment. The Brisbane Typhoons had the challenging task of crowning a winner.  And now, the moment of truth - the results:  1. **Team MIRRI (yellow)** - They secured the prestigious 2023 Monos' Dragon Boat Cup.  1. **Team BARRAR (red)** - Earned a well-deserved second place.  1. **Team KUBBI (purple)** - Impressed with a solid third-place finish.  1. **Team POWAI (blue)** - Showcased commendable performance, securing fourth place.  Everyone involved showed exceptional teamwork and unity throughout the day, making Dragon Boat Cup 2023 an event to remember.   Well done to everyone involved in making this year’s event such a success, including the event organisers, the spirited cheer squad, the dedicated paddlers, the Brisbane Typhoons and all participants!   ![In the Loop website november3](https://22708561.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/22708561/hubfs/In%20the%20Loop%20website%20november3.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=In%20the%20Loop%20website%20november3.jpg) ![In the Loop website november4](https://22708561.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/22708561/hubfs/In%20the%20Loop%20website%20november4.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=In%20the%20Loop%20website%20november4.jpg) ![In the Loop website november5](https://22708561.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/22708561/hubfs/In%20the%20Loop%20website%20november5.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=In%20the%20Loop%20website%20november5.jpg) ![In the Loop website november6](https://22708561.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/22708561/hubfs/In%20the%20Loop%20website%20november6.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=In%20the%20Loop%20website%20november6.jpg) ![In the Loop website november7](https://22708561.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/22708561/hubfs/In%20the%20Loop%20website%20november7.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=In%20the%20Loop%20website%20november7.jpg) ![In the Loop website november8](https://22708561.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/22708561/hubfs/In%20the%20Loop%20website%20november8.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=In%20the%20Loop%20website%20november8.jpg) ![In the Loop website november9](https://22708561.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/22708561/hubfs/In%20the%20Loop%20website%20november9.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=In%20the%20Loop%20website%20november9.jpg) ![In the Loop website november10](https://22708561.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/22708561/hubfs/In%20the%20Loop%20website%20november10.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=In%20the%20Loop%20website%20november10.jpg)     ## Leave a comment Previous Post Monadelphous wins the 2023 Health and Safety in Welding Award Next Post Get to know Colleen ## Recommended For You [![](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/hubfs/InTheLoop_Blog_25Sept3.jpg)](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/in-the-loop/talk-birdie-to-me) [People](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/in-the-loop/tag/people) 1 Min Read ### [Talk birdie to me](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/in-the-loop/talk-birdie-to-me) Things recently got spooky on the greens as many of our Monos’ Eastern Region team turned out for this year’s ...
