Cadet Small Bore Interservice Final

Cadet Small Bore Interservice Final

Last Saturday, two teams from our North West Area took aim and represented the Corps in the Cadet Forces Interservice Small Bore Finals, also known as the Punch & Shell! 

In the Punch round, teams of four cadets took aim at two 10-spot targets, competing for the highest team score. Sea Cadets came out on top, clinching the overall victory after almost three decades since Cambridge Unit won in 1996!

In the Shell showdown, three cadets from each service targeted a board adorned with chalk spots. It was a race against time as the first team to hit all spots emerged victorious! Sea Cadets secured 2nd place overall, proudly bringing home silver medals!

BZ to our steady-handed cadets for showcasing their marksmanship and teamwork. Cadets are taught rifle handling skills and undertake range target shooting as part of a structured programme of supervised training that emphasises safe and responsible use.

Cadets support Royal Marines Family Day

Cadets support Royal Marines Family Day

Royal marines cadets from across the UK travelled to The Commando Training Centre to attend the Royal Marines Family Event. The cadets took part in an exciting inter-company 5-a-side competition as well as getting to watch the Royal Marines football team play against the Parachute Regiment’s squad. Cadets attended the stalls laid out on the parade square, took part in an air rifle competition, and watched various teams compete in tug-o-war. There was even an incredible fireworks display to round up a fun filled Saturday. 

On Sunday, the cadets paraded with veterans, current serving marines and recruits in front of the Commandant General Royal Marines who was very impressed with their smart turnout. The cadets were excited to be staying on the same base that they have seen on television and learned about in their lessons. They all felt a part of the Royal Marines Family!
