I can't believe that we have already had 10 Battalion Alumni Nights! Each year is a little different from the rest. This year it was Derek Taylor's turn to receive his Sergeant Jersey! Derek was the 13th Sergeant of Battalion 3739. Derek was the Sergeant in the 1999/00 Btln Season. Derek was the 16th Sergeant to receive his Jersey in our "One forward and one back" Sergeant Jersey program! Congrats Derek!
Derek was also added to the Btln Ring of Honour! Last year we added Ryley but he was unable to attend so we gave both Derek and Ryley their Ring of Honour mugs. We are so proud of both of these men! Congrats to both Derek and Ryley!
Murderball is always fun, but at Alumni it is played at a whole different level. It seems that the team that gets up early rarely loses, so those first moments of every game are so important. Each new game it seemed like the momentum was changing. In the end Jeremy's team beat my team 5 games to 4!
Noah started in the middle for Bulldog because, it has been tradition lately that a grade twelve starts in the middle. There are always big collisions when men this big play British Bulldog together, but no one seems to mind. When we were nearing the end it was Zach, Austin, Nathan (1999) and Kenny battling it out for Btln Alumni supremacy! Kenny's speed was the deciding factor, nobody could put a hit on him! Congrats Kenny!
We finished the night playing Ping Pong and Poker and visiting in the Youth room. This was the first time that we have not gone over to Bruce and Katie's. I want to thank them both again for hosting us in the past!
Thanks to all the came out to Alumni Night 2015!
THE CAPTAIN
