CPPS 2012 – Round 2

To the event … since Round 1 our Division had the “GRAND” opportunity to play in the cold early morning hours of the first week of March we this time “thought” we would have the advantage of playing after 1 p.m. when the Premiership B was called to the field in some warmer conditions … oh dear how wrong we were. Througout the day we had some very nice spills of water which the later in the day it was the colder it got. The most memorable situation was having a conversation with each other and during the conversation I got the chills, suddenly saw the breath of the people standing in front of me and while I was waiting for a statement of “I can see dead people.” like the young Haley Joel Osment in “The 6th sense” – then the sky opened and HAIL was falling to the ground … we just all started laughing. 

We – as usual – had the first game of our Division, which started great with some great slides into our primarys (the mud was like a slip&slide) and we literally took that momentum winning our group stage dropping 2 throughout the day. In this round we played a final to determine the winner of the 2^nd Round. Although it was a very wet and cold event – it seemed that we successfully played the field and decided the final in a 2:0 for us as well – which gave is 1^st place for Round 2 at the Premiership B of the CPPS and on overall 1^st place in the series ranking, closely followed by Team Domination. So we have 2 more rounds to go to “defend” our position …

Speaking of Team Domination – we had a great chat with them at the event and decided that we will be driving up to the CPPS site in the coming weeks in preparation for the Millennium Series – Round 2 and train with them on a Saturday in the coming weeks. We also invited them down to Bricketwood Paintball – our local training site, so we are really looking forward to that.

Here us – after the event, muddy, exhausted and happy. Next Stop … BITBURG!
