But as well as these two US Pro Teams, Drew has also been playing the 2010 season with UK Based and Eclipse Factory Team Disruption in the Millennium Series. If that wasn’t enough Drew also owns and creates an On-Line Paintball magazine called Grind, now in its 4th issue….Drew is also still attending school!!!! We wanted to know what motivated Drew to do all of this so we sat down and asked him a few probing questions. Planet Eclipse….

Last weekend National Paintball Fields Birmingham England hosted the European A-ball Championships, and we're pleased to announce that one of our faithful amateur teams "The Lucky 15s" managed to bring home first place! The Lucky 15s conscripted Ulf Mueller of NXE and his friend Joern Windler to form the suitably named Anglo/German team " The Uber 15s". Ainsley Baddeley, Dan Campbell and Luke Paxton from the 15s, along with their newly purchased GEO2s battled alongside their German allies to take the trophy. The event was quite a show on NPF's fantastic Astro Turf field, with cheerleaders between games, and even Matt Green offering his comic twist on commentary throughout the day! The A-ball field is available for training most weekends and NPF host a monthly A-ball walk-on for teams and individuals alike to come and hone their skills without the mess! Check out www.thelucky15s.co.uk for more details! Congratulations guys! Final Placings: 1st..... The Ube...

Planet Eclipse Poster Boy, Pro Player and all round good guy Billy Bernacchia has been released from Vicious roster and has signed to play for San Diego Dynasty at the up and coming PSP Mid Atlantic Open. With the Hurricanes dropping down several divisions at the end of 2009 Billy has been looking for a new home to carry on his X-Ball career.
