CPPS 2012 - Round 4 - Premiership B Series Champions

So how do you close a series on the last round, when you lead the division with 2 spots ahead of the next team in the table …? You make sure nobody doubts that you earned that  spot – period!

In a good old fashion – it was raining, it was cold, it was muddy, BUT there was a new factor in the mix this time – … just kidding, it was the same old like every CPPS … =D
We started the event after lunch on the last round of the 2012 season, much rumors were going around about Rich handing over the series to a new management and huge changes were ahead for the 2013 season – however we were more interested in the here and now, there was enough time for 2013 once this season has been finished and “won”.

So we started in our group games again very strong with 3 wins and a 1:0 loss against the Carebears, which won the first point and then with 2 players very cleverly shutting down the field making it very hard for us to move. Luckily the 3 wins should be enough for us to see it through to the final and with that secure us the title for the CPPS Premiership, since by points we already had the title at this stage.
Domination, the team that was breathing down our neck had a tough day and missed the finals very closely, which lead us facing The Clan in the last game of the season. We had the upper hand and since we had played the Clan a few times this year, and they were always on their triggers holding their lanes very well, so we knew we had to be cautious about our movements on the field.

In the end we were able to decide the game for us, which gave us a 3rd victory within the 4 rounds and it also was a great last game to close the CPPS season.

We are now looking forward to the Millennium Series World Cup 2012 in Paris and the “GI Sportz-7Man Event” in November as a fun event, which will followed by the ceremony for the winners of the CPPS 2012.

We will give an appropriate thank you to all our sponsors and supporters once we collect that trophy in November, but for now once again a huge thank you to LiPS Paintball, Planet Eclipse for the best markes in the world, GI Sportz for the top notch paint all year long, Tanked for the awesome jerseys, Ray Ko from PaintballPictures for all the coverage this year and last but not least the Bricketwood Training Center which we have been using for the last 3 years and Yorkie has been brilliant with his team to give us all that field time.

P.S. As you can see we unluckily didn’t have much luck with taking pictures this event, since the weather was bad and we didn’t have any “pro photographers” with the right cameras around to document the day, but the few VERY BLURY pictures we are sharing are just to show you the moment when we actually won the last game of the day - so apologies for quality.

Paris … about a week away … London Samurai MV on a “last stop of the 2012 Millennium Tour” to make something happen!
