Tropical Titans Pip Coast Dominators in the Tenth Race of Kerala’s CBL-3

Tropical Titans finished first at Kallada, pipping Coast Dominators in the tenth race of the Champions Boat League Season-3 (CBL-3).

With just two more legs left in the IPL-model water festival, Tropical Titans, rowing the Veeyapuram snake-boat owned by Pallathuruthy Boat Club, also boosted the prospects of retaining the title. While the champions emerged first (3:34:10 minutes), Coast Dominators (owned by UBC Kainakary Club, rowing Nadubhagom Chundan) came second (3.35:42). Raging Rowers (Police Boat Club on Mahadevikadu Kattil Thekethil), that had come fifth in last weekend’s race at Kayamkulam, bettered their performance, finishing third (3.36:93).

Tropical Titans go to the next race, leading the points table with 96. Coast Dominators have 93 points, while Raging Rowers are placed third (72 points) in the championship, organised by Kerala Tourism.

The penultimate race of CBL-3 at Pandanad (Alappuzha district) will be held on December 2. The final of CBL-3 will be on December 9 at Kollam, coinciding with the famed President’s Trophy. Tropical Titans have been CBL champions in both the previous editions (2019 and 22). The CBL Season-3 began on August 12 at Alappuzha, with the famed Nehru Trophy Boat Race.
