After much deliberation we are pleased to announce the Offical UK Youth Team that will compete in at Disneyland Paris in the EPBF Youth Cup....
But before we do that we would like to mention that everyone that took part in the training session impressed us. It was surprising to us the high standard of everyone that turned up and that just goes to show how good UK Paintball is looking right now.
Now if you never made the squad this time it doesn't mean that you aren't good enough - we had such a rich crop to pick from it was a very difficult decision to pick just 12 of you.
We have picked 10 players and 2 reserves (11 &12) and they are ...
1. Jake Barlow
2. Liam Holmes
3. Martin Turner
4. Luke Derbyshire
5. Tony Brandon
6. Sam Stevens
7. George Bruton
8. Nicarlo Vitello (Curly)
9. Brennan Turner
10. Edward Mathews (Tiny)
11. Mark Bryant
12. Matt Robertshaw
Particular note must go to the guys from NPF Academy Jordan & Bradley - you certainly surprised us with the level that you have acheived at such a young age. Sadly this time round you never made it BUT we are sure we will see you ripping up with the big boys very soon and of course there is always next year, as indeed there is for everyone else who never made it this time round. By no way does this mean that you can't play ball - it just means that the ones picked have a little more experience - that is all.
