Tapos na 80 mga sportsmen at kababaihan, ang mga junior at dignitaryo ay tumawid sa channel ni P&O Ferry madaling araw ng Sabado, on 10th June 2017, to take part in the 44th annual Dover – Calais Festival of Sport. Ang mga bayan ay salit-salit na nagho-host ng pagdiriwang, na kasing edad ng kanilang kambal, mula noon 1973. Ang kumpetisyon ay parehong palakaibigan at mabangis sa paglipas 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, sa isang 3 – 2 tagumpay.
The Town Mayor of Dover, Cllr Neil Rix said, “It was a very good day and I think everyone involved had a great day out. Lahat kami ay humanga sa antas ng mabuting pakikitungo na ipinakita sa amin ng mga tao ng Calais at inaasahan naming maibalik ang mabuting pakikitungo sa susunod na taon pagdating nila sa Dover. 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”.
