The British Army’s Super Cup Final took place in Glasgow on Saturday. The match was played between the winners of the Regular Army Challenge Cup and the Reserve Army Challenge Cup. It was the first time the fixture has been played following the recent integration of all sports events of the Regulars and Reserve. The Regulars of 22 Signal Regiment, based in Staffordshire, and the Reserves of 71 Engineer Regiment, who have their headquarters in St Andrews, clashed at the indoor pitch at the Toryglen Regional Football Centre, Glasgow. The Regulars of 22 Signal Regiment came out tops with a 2-0 win. Corporal Kevin Cameron, 22 Signal Regiment, said: “We took a while to get into out stride as we had to get used to the huge artificial pitch… Overall the team played very well against well drilled opponents and I am very proud that 22 Signals are the first winners of the Army Super Cup.” Prior to the match, Captain James Grant of 71 Engineers, said: “The fact that the Regiment’s team is paid to train and to play in high profile matches like this one show the diversity of opportunities afforded to the Army Reserve. “The match against 22 Signals will certainly be a challenge, but we are confident that all the training and hard work will pay off. I’m sure it will be a cracking match!”
