A New Era Begins at Battle Grounds ...

What a couple of mad weekends it's been! Some brilliant groups took full advantage of the four new watch towers as "The Village" stole the show over both days.... Saturday saw many of our Groupon customers take advantage of superb value balling whilst Sunday entertained an enthsiastic group from La Bamba and Prime Cuts Restaurants in Aberdeen. Birthday's and stag-doo's galore also saw lots of people, including the boss himself, running the gauntlet for their birthday run with plenty of bruises to show for it!

Congrats to all those who played at BG over the last couple of weekends - you made it an awesome two weeks!

Meanwhile.... we have been super busy working on our King of the Hill and Chinook game zones with pallets of wood arriving on site last week. The safety zone posts are in and the walls and roof are all set to go on over the next couple of days. Longer evenings and sunny days are transforming the site into something a little bit special and, with the help of our fantastic new team of marshalls, the site is coming to life for the first time in a very, very long time!


April is going to be off-the-charts busy and we are all really excited to hear your opinions as we continue to work our BG magic on the place. Watch this space for news on Sup Air Walk-On days coming soon to Battle Grounds Paintball and for more updates on our progress! Pictures to be unveiled soon of our new game zones.

Oh - almost forgot - the compressor arrived today folks... say hello to steady 4.5k fills :)

Tournament Paintball @ BG - Introducing Aberdeen Fusion

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....
