Victory on the paintball field kicks of season 29th September 2001
16 of the Mens squad travelled to Cobham for a day out paintballing. Forming the green team we
made cannon fodder of the opposition winning the overall trophy for the day beating seven other
teams. The green team consisting of 16 ICBC members and 10 random allies who joined with us for the day
held an unbeaten record in the 10 games played during the day. With 6 wins 3 draws and one game
finishing to our advantage without a clear win 119 points was enough to beat all the opposition by
some sizeable margin.
Special note must go to Dom Gill and Andy Hodgson for returning the oppositions flag back to
our base, and Franco for comedy paint ball dodging and getting one grab on the flag.
