In July 2009, the Tsingtao Warriors, ably assisted by the Publican, splashed their way to 42nd place in the 2009 London Dragon Boat Race.

A full day of festivities occurred on the Thames at the London Regatta Centre, which saw teams from all over the UK compete for the title of Dragon Boat champion of 20-09.

Tsingtao Beer, distributed exclusively by Halewood international, is the 5th fastest growing PPL in the UK, and the 10th biggest beer brand in the world, not only sponsored the event, but also provided the Bar.
