I have seen so many teams come from the bottom divisions thru to the top, this is a credit to them for their commitment to training, i am happy to announce that in the North of England we have some quality training venues available to all Battle Zone at Dishforth, Point Blank at Darlington, Yorkshire Paintball Centre and now Top Gun at Durham....in the Midlands we have Ashcroft Leisure at Uttoxeter..
I promise 2011 is going to be better with different game formats, different prize packages, more teams, I will be announce a full team list at the end of November, and alot of new teams coming to try tournament paintball and finally the confirmation from the regular teams that they enjoy the UK Masters so much they will be staying, a vanish series, what a load of rubbish, i am a Northern lass...bring it on....
UKM LITE CHAMPIONS FOR 2010 ...... DV8....after speaking with the team they have already made plans to play the full Millennium series in division two for 2011 as well as supporting the UK Masters once again. I expect to see great things from this team they will represent the UK to the very best of their abilities and i will give them 100% support with everything they want to achieve.
UK MASTERS 5 MAN CHAMPIONS 2010 ..... JCS EAGLES...some of the coolest players in paintball, i have come to know them all so well thru the team news letters provided by their captain, Westie, maybe not in a way that they would appreciate, as usual they intend on playing paintball as often as they can, and they have already commited to playing the full series again in 2011...
RUNNERS UP ..... RIVAL KIDZ....a team of young players that have struggled to find 5 regular players for some events but have shown us so much talent it will be of no surprise to me that they will in time be approached by some of the more up and coming teams for next season if they choose not to stay together as a team....i individually wish them all the best of luck in 2011 where ever they end up..
3RD PLACE ..... PHOENIX 5 ....with the Hoff playing for them how could they ever expect not to do well, it was sad that their captain Col stepped down towards the end of the season due to work, and up popped Dave...come back Col we love you....and pulled the team forward to 3rd place in the series...this is an excellent result for them, and i am sure they would like me to thank Ash and Mitch for joining the team and making them a force to be reckoned with....again we look forward to seeing them again next season.
If all of you think this is it.....i have saved the best stuff for the end of series trophy presentation at Shoot The Rainbow, i hope you have all reserved extra large spaces in your trophy cabinets as they are beasts....
I would like to thank everyone that helps me.

I would like all my teams wherever possible to support your local training grounds, always look to bring new players into the sport at every opportunity and support the companies that attend the UK Masters regularly with your business.
