Last week, Natalie Williams, Marketing and PR Manager and Hannah McCourt, Fund Manager, had the incredible opportunity to attend the Hart’s Medals Final, 1st Battalion The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers Inter Company Boxing Competition, held in Tidworth. It was a thrilling evening filled with excitement, camaraderie, and exceptional sportsmanship. 

The history of Hart’s Medals stretches over 100 years, and it quickly became apparent that the legacy of Captain Arthur Hart continues to burn bright in the First Fusiliers; their fighting spirit is something they cherish and are very proud of. 

A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the winner’s trophy for the 5th bout in the Middleweight category. As a sponsor of the event, NAAFI played a significant role in making the competition possible, and Natalie was honoured to be a part of the presentation ceremony. 

The atmosphere at the event was electric. The gymnasium was packed with supporters, their cheers echoing through the room as each boxer stepped into the ring. The competition was fierce, with every punch and dodge met with a roar of approval. We were captivated by the skill and determination of the boxers, who fought with incredible passion and respect for one another. 

Beyond the boxing, the event was a celebration of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers and the strong bonds within the military community. The camaraderie among the soldiers was evident, as they cheered on their comrades and supported each other throughout the evening. It was inspiring to witness the dedication and teamwork that characterized the event. 

The organizers had done an excellent job of creating a safe and enjoyable environment for all involved. The event was a testament to the incredible talent, hard work and commitment of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers.
