The British are coming!

The tour is part of the EX Virginia Gauntlet an event that is designed to create a competitive, social and morale building that aims to help build and strengthen the Corps ties with both the American public and the USA Marine Corp

The first event sees the British Royal Marines playing in the nations capital against Washington’s very own DC Slayers on April 24th. The Slayers were one of the leading teams in 2011 but will have their work cut out for them as they are still minus their import players and have yet to take the field in 2012. Regardless of their conditioning, they will welcome the pace of the game as they get ready to take on Jamaica in the weeks following.

On April 27th, the Rhode Island Rebellion will be hosting the 1st ever International Rugby League Match in Rhode Island History. The Rebellion will host The British Royal Marines as they face the New England Immortals an all star team comprised of the best American born rugby league players from the New England Region. The principle member clubs are:
 Boston 13s RLFC, New Haven Warriors RLFC, Oneida FC, and the Rhode Island Rebellion RLC.
