THE MALVERNIAN
Barry Brown Bowl (Triple B)
The Barry Brown Bowl, named after the former School Staff Instructor Barry Brown, and held annually is the premier cadet competition between all three Sections of Malvern College CCF. It sees teams operating in groups of between 8 – 10 competing in several challenging activities designed to test their military knowledge, command leadership, physical fitness, and teamwork.
This year’s activities consisted of:
First Aid – where teams had to assess, prioritise, and administer live saving first aid.
Rifle Skills – where they were required to demonstrate a full understanding of the in-service cadet rifle by carrying out several timed drills.
Casualty Carry – saw them move at speed around a circuit carrying several bags weighing 60kg to simulate a casualty evacuation.
Keep in Memory – where they were challenged to memorise a few objects including marked military maps and then relay this information to a nominated scribe.
Fitness – challenged them to complete a series of demanding physical tests including a timed run, press ups, sit-ups, and a leopard crawl over the undulating ground.
Observation – required them to sketch a map of the nominated area to their front and then using the Mk1 eyeball had to locate, identify, and mark on their maps what they saw and what it was.
Drill – cadets had to demonstrate their ability as a section to do several drill movements whilst at the halt and on the march.
Congratulations to all those who competed and thank you to all the Senior Cadets and staff who ran things so effectively.
Winners of the Barry Brown Bowl 2024 were the Army, 3 Section.
