Abdullah Alhadad - Singapore's favourite snake player...

Photo was "disgustingly ripped" from Abdullah's Facebook...

Abdullah Alhadad from Team Zoo (the senior team of Team Damnation) was featured on the Berita Minggu a local malay newspaper. This is a big boost in creating paintball awareness to the general public to let more people know about the sports we all loved. Abdullah was first introduced to paintball when he took on the lead to organize a paintball teambuilding outing for his colleagues since then Abdullah has been playing paintball actively. With his team, he recently won the Division 3 title in the Malaysia Paintball Official Circuit (MPOC) Leg 1. This champion title is by far the highest honours for any Singapore teams. A professional engineer by day and a soon to be father, Abdullah shows that there is still some time left for paintball in his busy schedule....

Red Sevens in SSC Cup 2010 - Kuching

Red Sevens combined with players from the Crazy Dogs team from Kuching participated in the SSC Cup 2010 Kuching Open. The SSC Cup was established and organized by the Sentosa Sports Centre (SSC) since 2008. The SSC Cup is widely recognized by many East Malaysia teams as one of the most anticipated event with a good playing field, indoor paintball that is. With a 2 million infrastructure, the SSC Cup provides players with top notch excellent playing ground. Sliding moves can be executed with ease without worries of getting injuries with hard knocks... there was a sudden thought in me that every player has suddenly learnt the art of sliding... Without any doubt, this field favours any snake player who wants to "slide all the way..."

Special appearances by the people behind Dye Precision adds more weight to this event. Ironmen Mikko Huttenen was there to share tips with eventual winner SSC Killers (house team of SSC) and signing autographs is just one of the things he does during paintball events. Teaming with ex-Ironmen Zyzek, Andy Liu from SSC, Seburo from Red Sevens, they formed the SSC All Star Team playing against the SSC Killers before the prize presentation. The results? 2 - 0!

I would like to thank the Crazy Dogs gang for being such a good host! Your hospitality is superb and it was good fighting alongside the dogs!!! Woof! Woof! Beware, the Crazy Dogs do bite...

Results - Crazy Dogs had a slow start in the morning with 2 wins and 3 losses. By the end of day 1, we were ranked 6th with 5 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. Day 2 was about finding consistency. We managed a quick win with 4 - 0 but it was soon over when 2nd placed Team Last Limboman came back to take the 2nd and 3rd game in the best of 3 games.

Thumbs up for SSC Cup 2010!
