Who said girls can't play??... Not Me !

Cyril Job , Icon's Captain and Coach of the Harpies send me this report from last weekend.....

This weekend Harpies paintball team have taken part in the 6th UPC ARMY 5-man tournament which took place on the great field of Valras Plage, close to Montpellier, South of France. A nice weekend of summer with beautiful sun and hot air temperature. On Sunday morning, 17 teams were present to compet in the tournament. Teams were divided in 3 groups, they gave the best of their play in order to access to the “High level” group of the afternoon.

It was a bad start for Harpies, we lost our 1st game against Full Dawa who shot our players on snake side OTB. But this defeat made us pulling oursleves together and so we won our 4 following prelims games. These 4 victories led us to the Pro-group on the afternoon.

After a short break we start again. All teams were extremely motivated because there was ca$h money to win in the end, so everybody fought hardly for the victory.

For our 1st game of the afternoon we played against Old, a team we already defeated in the morning and who are a former winner of the event. The game was long, Old gained ground and finally took this game. Beginnings are hard for us. But with the same motivation of the morning we concentrated on the game and analysed the strategies of our opponent. A method which did help us because we won all our games except against the Offender team who overwhelmed us.

Finally we finished ex-aqueo with 2 teams: Old and Offender, but the goal average was on our side and sent us in final against the Old Company team.

Final
This time, it is a race to 2 without coaching. We enjoyed the fact that we will play the final even if we might not take it in. The game began without anxiety nor pressure, we wanted to win at all costs ! The 1st point was a « snake war ». Charlotte, Auriane and Nathalie completely blocked the opponent snake and gained the advantage over them even if one of their player was on the center of the field in order to contain the dorito's side, forcing Elodie and Morgane to play very carefully. We finally won with Auriane who killed the last player. It was almost the same plan for the 2nd point that we won again ! 2 – 0 Harpies!!
