A 22-man squad of permanent staff from the Infantry Training Centre Catterick headed down under for their first rugby tour of Australia.
The three-week trip included a slender win over an Australian Army selection side in Brisbane, where they also competed in a local sevens tournament.
The soldiers then made the 12-hour trip south to Singleton, where they were hosted by the Australian School of Infantry. A match with the Singleton Bulls ended in a narrow loss.
“The visit acted as a significant activity to best showcase the Infantry’s, and attached arms’, approach to sport and how the ITC rewards its staff,” said director of rugby Maj Doug Hayton-Williams (RG).
