this year, chatting to the lads they said this year see us
compete in D1 with a new team as we decided that
we should run 2 teams a Millennium team and a CPPS
team. That will allow them to focus more on promotion
in both competitions where they can mix it up by placing
players into the teams they see fit. Only time will tell if
this will work.
DIVISION 2

looking to show each other what their new teams can do.
Looking at both teams on the field you could feel the
tension; the teams were gearing themselves up for this
one. Both teams going over last minute game plans.
What route to run and what lane to shoot? The 10-second
warning started and they were ready to go. Even all of the
other teams in D3 were watching this one. It was probably
the biggest crowd of the day, not even the elite fields had
as many people watching these two teams slog it out.
GAME ON both teams broke out both teams taking a
player of the break. Both sets of coaches were screaming
instructions to their players the paint was flying, players
making the push up the field, screams of G1 G2 G3 G4
G5 filled the air and then silence… Aberdeen Outcasts
took the 1st point 1-0
Game 2 started the same way both teams losing a player
of the break but, Nick Mackintosh played a blinder on
the Dorito side of the field shooting across the field
eliminating their back center and snake corner.

Din Eden made the trip from Scotland to finish off by
missing out on a 3rd place podium spot by only 4 points.
Entity Cribbs were relegated, by 2 points, this allows
them play in D3 at round 2 with team Spartens taking
their place from D3.
MSR, and Aberdeen Outcasts both finished the day off
in positions 32 and 33. Team MSR are in a rebuilding
season after gaining promotion to D3, and losing 3 of
their players from last year, Grant Mcphilemy, William
Macleod, and Sandy Ward all moving to the Aberdeen
Outcasts.
Would you have believed the Paintball computer, had
drawn these two teams to play each other?
Once teammates but now on opposite ends of the field,

He sensed this game was for the taking, so he made
his move running and gunning the Dorito side he was
hunting down former fellow teammate Sandy Ward. As
he ran through the field he shot Ward but Ward spun
and shot Mackintosh, the refs did not see the spin and
called Ward out, but Mackintosh carried on running and
gunning up the field taking out Dorito side corner. The
refs called him out 1-4-1 playing on. Lucky for the MSR
they still had Sam Rodgers, a new up and coming talent
to score the point. 1-1 going into the 3rd and final round.
Aberdeen Outcasts were at their start gate ready to go.
The 10-second warning was called but there was no MSR?
The MSR were still airing and refilling their paint.
With seconds to spare 3 of the MSR team ran onto the
pitch but never made the start gate before GAME ON was
called. Aberdeen Outcasts had no choice but to run and
gun.
MSR lost the game 2-1, a hard lesson to learn. Speaking to
Nick Mackintosh after that point, you could see he was not
happy saying this “There was no excuse for this. We as a
team had to be more organized in the pits”. He also said
that this is a lesson learned and it will not be repeated.
