Celebrating victory in one of the toughest of all Cadet competitions are members of the Ballygowan Detachment Army Cadet Force.
The lads swept to victory to take not only numerous individual and section awards but also the prestigious Calcutta Cup, the ultimate honour in the Northern Ireland Cadet Military Skills Competition contested recently at Magilligan Training Camp. Now they are faced with the challenge of making space in the trophy cabinet to house their latest awards!
