On a slightly related note, was the Rushers last tourney Campaign Cup, or did they play anything just after?

I'm just curious, as if they didnt play anything afterwards, it makes the photo I took of their break against TonTon Acyd a photo of the last ever Rusher breakout, which makes me quite sad inside :(

Just to straighten it out

Rushers are indeed no more.

Through circumstances out of control of nearly all the line up from this year, the team was no longer viable.

Nick, Bowen and myself were offered places on Nexus which we took for our own reasons. Birger, the Danish team member, could not secure work in the UK and decided to go home.

Billy and Tom had retired earlier in the year and Pete had moved to Australia. With all these guys leaving I think it is obvious that the few guys left would have a major mission to be competitive next year.

It was decided then to leave it there - with the Rushers right up at the top of Euro Am paintball.

Our last event was Shoot the rainbow where, ironically, we went out in the semis to nexus in an absolute blinder of a game which we would have won (and my new team mates will readily admit this) if the marshalling was a bit more up with the pace!!.

Flash, can you send me a copy of that photo.

bad game for us but always interestedin photos of us;)

Cheers guys and see y'all next year.

Mark, No probs (although the photo's aren't fantastic - one milling behind the start gate, and one of three of the guys just about to break - then the camera battery died - four days of abuse taking it's toll :D ).

What's your email addy? (pm it to me if you want to keep it hidden from the spam trawlers) I don't think I can attach pics to emails sent from the boards.
