Tom has represented the ATC in Soccer and, additionally, his Region in Athletics, Rugby, and Cross Country running. He was very pleased to win as “there are many cadets out there of great sporting quality”. He now hopes to try and retain the trophy next year.
Winner of the Female Sports Cadet was 18 year old Cadet Corporal Bronwyn Jacobs from 863 (Thurston) Squadron, also Norfolk & Suffolk Wing. She was unable to attend the Cranwell presentation as she was away at an athletics meet but as well as competing she is a respected coach for her fellow cadets and outside the ATC.
