Uplands College Partcipates in Paintball Tournament

For the first time ever Uplands College participated in a paintball tournament (31 Aug - 2 Sep 2007). We travelled down to Durban and spent one night in San Lameer for some training on the golf course and the beach. On the Sunday we took part in the “Mighty Paintball Tournament”. We were matched against some of the finest teams the country has to offer, including the notorious “Xplicit” and “Reservoir Dogs”.

Although we didn’t manage to capture the flag before any of the other teams, we did leave our mark (literally) in paintball circles, as we managed to obtain 17 points and three bonus points.

This tournament was hopefully just the first of many. It was a great learning curve for all of us, as we had never played “Airball” before (in the Lowveld we just do Bush Games…). They will definitely see us back next year.

We would like to thank Mr and Mrs Lovett from Pegasus Engineering for their donation of gear to our team. We hope to keep their name high in tournaments to come.
