All those people that said they were going but didn't, missed a brilliant day.

The atmosphere was great and the games were excellent. There was lots of movement and running around as there wasn't tons of paint in the air. For instance on the valley field Ben and I were trading paint for most of the game with someone on the left hand side of the field but there wasn't enough cover to get close. In the end I thought sod it and ran into the valley and crept up behind the guy and shot him in the back.

The blue team had all the younger players and the oldest as well and dominated the first half. The reds used their experience and came back strongly in the second half of the afternoon. In the end the blues won but I didn't even notice there was a scoreboard until towards the end. I don't think many people cared who won as it was such a fun day.

Richard from Powerball brought a load of Sterlings down, I think half of our team were using Sterlings, that pictures is Jamie from Slothball with his own one. There were a couple of Tracers some Cockers a Phantom and a load of Sterlings mostly new but a few old ones were around as well.

I was initially disapointed that there was such a low turn out, but in the end it didn't matter as we all had such a laugh.
I just feel for the Holmbush crew who put on a great day despite the low turn out, but thanks anyway guys, Lucky and "Special Needs" will be back, if you do it again.......please:cool:

The scoreboard was kinda irrelevant as there was such a good atmosphere. It's refreshing to play a day where there's no bruised ego's or attitude.:cool:
I for one got lit up like a christmas tree and came off the field with a smile on my face:)
I didn't see a frown all day which was kinda cool:)

Ps, nice to meet you all as well:)

There's some more pictures for you guys to dwell over. Even I won't deny that it was just an amazing day and it was just so fun! I definitely want to get out there and play some more pump soon. I can see why you old guys like it so much. :p

I'm still not sure on how you manage to do that in the space of a minute or less! You said that you were going to pop round right and then before I knew it you were back on the left! I started thinking that I may have fell asleep or something! Lol :p

I'm hoping that they'll do another pump day again as well. It was just so much fun! My poor little legs haven't ached like this for quite a while! And I might be tempted to buy my own Sterling at some point because I was really impressed by the other people using them. They just looked so damn nice. :)

It was nice to meet the people on here, I remember standing at the start of the first game looking at peoples guns and thinking I've seen those pumps before. Lucky's and Ben's. :D

I forgot to add a big thanks to Ross and Co for putting the day on. I was also really impressed by the standard of the marshalls as well. Good job guys.
