A Thank You from the Scottish Warriors
The Scottish Warriors paintball team would like to say Thank You to all those involved with the team this year on various levels.
“Firstly, we all want to thank those who have voted for us at the UK Paintball Awards.” said team captain Tony Lindsay. “It was a great honour for all of us to once again take home the Team of the Year Award, and for me to lift the General’s prize.”
When asked what about what made this such a successful year Tony pointed to a few key factors.
“The team has had a great boost this year with our MacDev markers. The reliability, efficiency and consistency of the markers allows us to stay in the thick of it longer and make a difference when we hit the field.” Tony said. “Put those markers in the hands of the great players we have in the team and you get a winning combination”
Tony also credits his success as General of the Year to the quality of the teams he has lead in many of the games this year.
“It’s been a great year for leading teams. There have been some great scenarios and some great teams playing alongside us. Between those teams and certain individuals, my job has been made easier and they share the credit too."
There were also thanks from Scottish Warrrior Ian Pinchen, who lifted the Male Player of the Year Award.
Ian said “It was very humbling to be nominated for the award by the UK paintball player base. I am completely taken aback at winning this award, but it shows what can be done with a strong team like the Scottish Warriors along side you.”
As part of the Scottish Warriors plans to keep being at the forefront of UK Scenario paintball, the team have recruited two new players.
Cameron “Duals” Fraser is a paintballing veteran. He first picked up a marker back in 1989 with a Splatmaster. Cameron got his taste for big games at the first of the North v South events. Cameron was a founding member of The Hawks team form Tazball in Inverness and played with them until their recent dissolution. Cameron has played alongside the Scottish Warriors at many events and began to catch the eye of a few of the team.
“Joining the Scottish Warriors is a chance of a lifetime.” said Cameron. “It is a chance for me to play with like mind people who enjoy the game but also want to get out there and play as a team. Hopefully I can be part of helping the Warriors further our reputation as a force to be reckoned with on the field.”
Second recruit for the new season is Alex Lochrie. Although a relative newcomer to paintball, Alex has shown a lot of determination and commitment but also brings a wealth of other experience.
“I was gobsmacked to be asked to be part of the team.” said Alex. “I aim to do the name of the Scottish Warriors proud and to repay the faith the Tony, Gaz and the rest of the Warriors have shown.”
All in all, it’s looking like a good start to 2011. But stay tuned for more news coming soon!!
S6 is going to be awesome for scenario paintball.
