So I we took a trip to the North on Saturday the 3rdMarch, to our first CPPS for Samurai MV. After a great evening together with some proper dinner and some drinks we had a team meeting to discuss tactics and last questions people had. Everyone was in bed by midnight and not many slept through the night – a lot of tension and excitement since we didn’t get the amount of training in which we were aiming for.
Sunday morning – RAIN & COLD, which surprise on a early March day in the North of the UK – but we had a warm welcome from John who was running the LiPS and GI SPORTZ stand! We sorted out registration and our paint, making our way over to our field … first game 9 a.m. was us, somehow a tradition for us, we normally always have the first game of the day.
2:0 – 0:2 – 2:0 – 2:0 were the 4 games we played. There were no finals since there are series points accumulated and we will play of the series finals in the last round, first 2 events will be for seeding purposes. Result in our Premier B division was joint 2nd, really was a nice result to start the 2012 season. So, with frozen feet and heated up enthusiasm we made our way back to the LiPS tent to check on our Cystic Fibrosis Trust collections – which our sponsors are supporting us during the events. Unluckily we didn’t have the opportunity to print the flyers yet to send people to the sponsor stands – due to budget and time not being our friend on this one … however, we heard some rattling in the collection boxes. We left the collection boxes with LiPS until the end of the event – since we left midday … however we received them from LiPS and collected £34.44 @ the CPPS Rd1!
Thanks to Rich Harris & his CPPS team for the event and of course not to forget LiPS, Planet Eclipse, GI Sportz, Tanked, Paintballpictures.co.uk and Bricketwood Paintball for making this all possible! Looking forward to Round 2 … but first we have some traveling to do … Millennium Series 2012!!!
ON A SIDE NOTE – A big thank you to Gavin from 44Pix and Birmingham Temper for their support @ the event and for the 2 shots.
