Came across this, all good fun of course but nothing wrong with a bit of banter between either sides of the pond (especially when we kick your ass LOL)

The Royal Marines have won the Virginia Gauntlet for the third time in a row.
Held at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, the Virginia Gauntlet sees the two services go head-to-head in a number of sporting events.
The US Marine Corps piled on the pressure this year with some really close results – taking it all the way to penalties in football and a narrow win in rugby – but the Royal Marines made sure the trophy was returning to the UK.

This year the personnel competed in triathlon, basketball, shotgun, rugby 7s, boxing, football, rugby and golf.
Maybe next time, Jay
