Koniec 80 športovcov a žien, juniori a hodnostári prekročili kanál P&O Trajekt v sobotu skoro ráno, on 10th June 2017, to take part in the 44th annual Dover – Calais Festival športu. Mestá sa striedajú v usporiadaní festivalu, ktorá je stará ako ich dvojčatá, odkedy 1973. Konkurencia bola priateľská aj tvrdá 160 participants vying for the Victor Ludorum trophy in the 5 sporting disciplines that took part in the day, Table Tennis, Sea Angling, Basketball, Shooting & Pool. Dover managed to secure the cup for a second year, v 3 – 2 víťazstvo.
Starosta mesta Dover, Cllr Neil Rix said, “It was a very good day and I think everyone involved had a great day out. Na všetkých nás zapôsobila úroveň pohostinnosti, ktorú nám preukázali obyvatelia Calais, a tešíme sa, že túto pohostinnosť vrátime budúci rok, keď prídu do Doveru.. Dover Town Council hopes to improve the Twinning Festival every year and we will be looking to increase the sporting disciplines taking part in the line up in 2018”.
