haha, thoroughly enjoyed our day, especially that game russ. Allways a pleasure.We had a nightmare with paint and some gun issues, we changed paint three times during the day as we could not get any to work.
We ended up using site paint but when we first got it we realised Chris had stored it wrong! he had treated it like his other paint a kept it in his heated room but we find site paint has be kept cold for it to become fragile.
The Tea bags game was the one we was looking forward to all day, a good bunch of lads who will also take the game to you given the chance.
I gave them the choice of ends and went to our base.
I knew from the end they had more or less how they would play the game and knew we had to soak up some paint and also knowing the state of the paint we was using I told my guys to pick fire fights carefully.
I was supporting Colin on our left and also checking out the right side and telling my guys where their targets were!
It was getting interesting and although I was never worried about being shot out I was getting rather annoyed with the team as I knew the Teabags was giving us to many opportunities to shoot them and we was not taking advantage offered.
My own shooting was also leaving a sour taste in my mouth as I could see targets clearly and was not getting any kills.
We had lost two players but still in a strong position I thought, next minute one of there players did a cool move and came straight threw the centre in mine and Marshy's blind spot and hung the flag.............
At first I thought time had run out and wanted to find out why we had not shot anyone, I know we are not bad shots and we had used loads of paint(well we had by our standards)
I then found out Colin had shot the flag carrier several times from a pretty close range and every one had bounced!
Marshy had shot him on his foot from a very close range - and it bounced...
We found out we had shot every one of them including goggle shots multiple times and not a single ball burst..........
As much as we believe we should have won because at least the three of us who were live at the end never got shot during the game, praise has to go to the Teabags as they kept coming forward to get us and in doing so secured a deserved victory.
Then we had the dinner time break and I opened all the boxes of paint so they would lose all their heat.
After dinner we only had three games with the paint cold and brittle.
We lost ONE player in those three games and we maxed them all in a couple of minutes each.

The event was as expected and was very enjoyable, the best part for me was having the opportunity to watch one of the younger players who I will be telling a few people I know about because at his age he should not be that good but since he is he must be put in a place to increase his skill level and not allowed to become stagnant or bored.
Russ
Got to say a big thanks to chris for yet another excellent day and also to gilly and the refs, who were outstanding again.
As for young Brandon, he is definately one for the future...an 11 year old kid with no fear and a shot on him like you wouldnt believe. he can go places given the right guidance and i hope he does cos he deserves it.
Russ,
You shot me twice on the mask in one rope of paint - was very long range, surprised you could see me from that far!!!
After being checked, they had both bounced off to my surprise! (and probably to your surprise too! lol)
Great move by dan to hang flag! (skipper leading by example!)
I dont believe that would have been done before, in the woods, against man lions?
Was our hardest game as it took us ages to get to our desired bunkers! I guess we got lucky in the end and from that we took victory!
Its good having you guys at the ionman, every team playing knows they are going to have to try very hard to out wit experienced players and this brings on atmosphere and revved up teams, making better games all day!
very good fun! cheers guys!

You guys have the choice this month on what to do with scoring.
1) You can take your bye match this month which is worth 6 points
2) We are offering a special points of 4 points for all teams that could not make the event due to venue change.
If I do not hear by Monday 10pm then I will go with option 2 for all teams not replying.
Please note that every effort will be made to make the games run at the venues stated. With the NSPA putting in drainage etc on the fields to try and work with mother nature. But if the venue is changed with 48 hours notice then no points will be given in future. (we will try and not let this happen but safety must always come first) If the venue is changed and you can not make it then we will award 2/3 the attendance points (rounded down if not a whole number).
