The TEMPLE Tournament on 7th April 2002. It was the best weather I have seen at the temple and we gave in return some very good play back. Nick Bach and Matt Brown played in this tourney, which helped us expand our regularly playing squad members. Our first game came to a draw, which we could have won if markers hadn't gone down! This was frustrating to the Team and so we went out and whipped the next game against " Skulls Young Guns"! This is our first 7 man win and a well deserved one at that, with a superb last minute run for the flag from Mat Stace to clinch the victory! After the mornings escapades we were up against harder teams in the afternoon, and we lost a few games. Our final results were; Won 1, Drew 2, Lost 4. We finished 5 Mid table. We are improving on previous Temple tourneys, and well... there is still a little room for increased winnings! (Shockwave here we come) Everyone put in lots of effort and were open to comments, which is helping to bring us up the rankings. We will be a team to be reckoned with!!!

The Open Tournament at the TEMPLE on 10th March 2002 was a superb display of how members of the team are improving greatly. We had many good games due to the gaining experience of the team. We now have players with their own markers to equip the team in such tournaments. There was video footage taken at the tourney (hopefully screen shots online soon), as we can then learn from our mistakes...and believe me, it doesn't take long to spot them!! The most memerable game for me was when it was three on one in our favour, and i moved up to the witches hat and my marker ran out of CO2, Lee moved up also after his mag went down , and leo's inferno was out of gas also. The player on the other team was in the corner back coke can. Their player was held there by us with no working markers! We found out later he only had 3 paintballs left, well thats enough for one each!! During this game, Jon Pawley managed a double mugging!...On his first Tourney!! WOW! Everyone put in 100% effort and by all accounts had a great day. We loaned some players to 'Team Overlord' during the day which let some of us have an insight into how other teams play.Well Done to all who took part, we didn't put ourselfs to shame!!

The EUROPEAN INDOOR tournament was played by our crack team of paintballers, on the 9th & 10th of February. We had a training day in South wales before hand to get the team a bit more ready for the fun and games at Wolverhampton. On the saturday we managed to eliminate 3 members of K2 on our first game and in another game hang one flag, with other games where we were taking out players too. We were all a little disappointed by our performance, but we had learnt valuable lessons. The Sunday was slightly different though, our team was improving with every game we played, and we WON a game during this session. (A far cry from the day before!). We didn't finish last so overall we are happy, as this was our major first event. Well done to all the team players!

The Team played an Open Tounament at the Temple on 25th November 2001. We managed to muster enough equiptment for the tournament, as the union hasn't exactly been forthcoming with kit this year. Everyone enjoyed themselves and put in great effort. Many players showed a great deal of potential which bodes well for future events. Players gained valuble experience during the tournament which will help lift the team to higher divisions in time. The Team came in the top 10 of our group which is impressive for a first Tournament!

This academic year (01/02) the team is back with a vengance.
