Can They Go Back-to-Back?
One of the biggest questions heading into the 51st St Helena Cup is whether last year's Overall Champions can defend their crown.
After an outstanding performance in the milestone 50th edition, will 2025 SHC Division 1 Winners, The Sports Stars team, (No Dough, Don't Panic! and Crank crews) return again in 2026?
If they're game, they'll have a target on their backs and a fleet eager to knock them from the top step of the podium.
Can they make it two in a row?
Or will a new challenger rise to the occasion and write their name into St Helena Cup history?
Find out on 9–11 October 2026.

To help bring this valuable initiative back, WMYC has joined more than 55 community and not-for-profit organisations across the Bayside and Redlands regions participating in the Bayside Community Fund's fundraising raffle, proudly sponsored by the Community Bank Victoria Point and Wynnum Manly branches of Bendigo Bank.
