Disruption Secure CPL Spot

Disruption have had a pretty ‘Disruptive’ off season; players retiring and an uncertain future to name just a few of the issues. But... the core of Disruption have decided to dig in and see what they could actually achieve. In early 2012 Disruption started to look at securing a Pro (CPL) spot in the Millennium series. After months of uncertainty the spot became available in the CPL and Disruption took the plunge into the Pro bracket. They had ideally wanted to earn their spot but this wasn’t to be due to a couple of poor performances in 2011. But Disruption have shown over and over again that they have what it takes. Disruption have won the CPPS series title 3 years on the run . . . But the CPL is very much a different beast….. And only time will tell if Disruption can tame it.

Also to strengthen their squad, Disruption have held trails and have not only found new players for the first team (Brennan Turner) but also started a feeder team ‘Disruption Entourage’ that will play in the Race-to-2 in the CPPS.

The first team roster for 2012 will look like this. 

 

Richard Kirkbright

Richard Pike

James Bath

Terry Ashmore

Martin Turner

Brennan Turner

Al France

Drew Templeton

Disruption Entourage, Disruption's feeder team has players from a few different teams. The first outing was last weekend at the CPPS where they won all of the matches - not a bad start at all. They were asked a few questions by the Disruption squad and we managed to get their answers..

Looking forward to ballin with the best and improving my game.

Why disruption? I’ve done the rest... now time for the best. Really looking forward to representing a brand as quality as Planet Eclipse and a solid team that so many people respect in the game.

From everyone here at Planet Eclipse we want to wish Disruption good luck in the CPL this season.
