As many of you will know Battle Grounds Paintball Aberdeen is home to Aberdeen Fusion - soon to be one of Scotland's top tournament paintball teams playing on soon-to-be one of Scotland's top tournament paintball sites! For an inside peak into the dark world of tournament paintball we've managed to get the lads to write a blog for us. Enjoy!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Started in September 2010 by friends and fellow players formally of East Coast NV (winners of almost every piece of paintball silverware in the Scotland), Aberdeen Fusion are set to have a busy, hopefully very fruitful 2011. Led by Liam Philbey, built with the aid of Ross Thompson, DJ "Ditch-Jockey" Forbes and Rosser "Africa" Barnett the current line up includes:
Lee "Colgate" Kiloh
Rory "Rosy" Thomson
Kyle "Soleice" Glass
Liam "Napper" Turner
Steve "Cheungy" Cheung
Gavin Burnett
Lewis Fromholc
Jamie Campbell
Scott Mckechnie
Grant Ryrie
Craig Robertson
Guillaume Boyer
Playing in the English series of the CPPS (The Central Paintball Players Series) in 2011 the team have gained sponsorship for kit through Laysick Paintball / Kartel Prime providing the team with custom playing jerseys along with training tops from CustomPB, a fresh new company based in England. Last but not least, Battle Grounds Paintball, home to East Coast NV for several years, have provided the team with somewhere to play and train whilst keeping us stocked up with paint for training and tournaments. Without them it would be absolutely impossible. BG are also providing us with a new shiney place to call home very shortly :)
With a slow start to the seasons training thanks to snow on an epic scale - the teams training has recently stepped up a notch with trips to a few reball sessions, Lossiemouth RAF and Terminator Paintball to play Shadow Faction. After a few more grind sessions on Battle Grounds brand new tournament paintball field the team were ready to hit the first round of the CPPS. Entering two teams, one into the Conference division and one into the Championship Divison, both teams rocked on the day finishing in an awesome position to move up into pole positions over the remaining 5 rounds throughout the year.
With the team looking forward to an epic grind at Battle Grounds and hopefully some silverware this season, we would like to give a massive thanks to :-
Gilan and Hollie at Battlegrounds Paintball
Kent at CustomPB
James at Kartel Prime
Without their help it would have been impossible to have taken the team this far, or to even think about challenging the current teams of the UK Paintball Scene.
If your interested in playing tournament paintball why not come along to one of the Sup Air walk-on days or get in contact with the team! We'll be aiming to post some hints and tips on how to improve your game over the coming months so....
Watch this space.....
