RSS Beaver ~VS~ RSS Butler

Way to go RSS Beaver ~ Game well played RSS Butler!!

Over the weekend on Saturday, 20101113, RSS Butler and RSS Beaver rallied at North Boundary Park in Cranberry Twp, PA.  The two sub stations went head-to-head in a friendly competition of football. 

Considering the turn out was so high (bearing in mind it was a mandatory function,) we separated each sub station in half and played games on two make-shift fields.  Still, instead of playing everyone at once, there were some poolees that participated in pt as the games were progressing, and substituted in sporadically.

In the end, RSS Beaver reigned superior over RSS Butler.  Congratulations RSS Beaver!!
RSS Butler put up a good fight; our victory was not easily claimed.  Good Job Everyone!

Once we had our winning sub station, our sore muscles, and some additional Marine Corps knowledge, we were ready to celebrate!

Everyone made their way up the hill to the Penn Power Shelter where we were greeted with refreshments and snacks.  In recognition of the Marine Corps Birthday, just a few days earlier, we held an improvised cake cutting ceremony and a comparative birthday party.

Thank you to all involved!!  The day was well worth the challenge and I enjoyed meeting everyone.  Good Luck to all future Marines!
