Walsall Royal Marines Cadets are "Best in Britain"
On the 7th May 2011, Walsall Royal Marines Cadets took part in the Annual National Drill Competition, HMS Raleigh in Plymouth, against over 300 cadets from around Britain.
A close competition ensued as the cadets representing 1 Troop - Alpha Company (South West Area) took on the might of cadets from X-Ray (Eastern Area), Bravo (North West Area) and Zulu (Southern Area) Companies under the watchful eye of Detachment Commander Lt (SCC) Voirrey Wagstaff RMR.
The hard work and dedication from the cadets over the last few months proved worthy as they walked away with trophies for Best Guard Commander - LCpl S Moriarty, Best Arena Display and Overall winners, making them 2011 National Drill Champions.
This is an excellent achievement for all cadets and staff involved. They will now be looking forward to the Annual Trafalgar day parade, London in October where they will be representing Royal Marines Cadets Nationally.
