TUG OF OARS

It is a sport played between two opposing teams, each consisting of four rowers who compete to pull a boat across a centreline. Similar to a water-based version of tug-of-war, the objective is to overpower the other team using coordinated strokes. The sport relies heavily on physical strength, teamwork, and proper rowing techniques, making strategy and synchronization just as important as raw power. It is an exciting test of endurance & unity, often drawing crowds for its intense and fast-paced competition.
