The first annual Judoka Paintball Smack-down was held yesterday in testing conditions in Swanson. Team Eastern-bloc, in association with one German (who claimed to have a political education) and Aaron “you’re in my world now” Page, easily owned their rivals. It was, truly, a comprehensive display of communication and advanced weapons skills. Player of the tournament eventually went to Mario. Mario won out by a small margin over Tim. Both ended the series with three individual flag captures. Mario however, took the win on the basis of a count-back type calculation – he sustained more big welts. People’s choice award went to Dennis (for reasons we won’t talk about here). While (according to Khan) everything that goes on in the field stays on the field, Dennis was reporter to have said “Tim, you’re going to die on the mat” (or something on those lines). It seemed to have something to do with what went on after being stuck out in the middle of no-where, with little cover, when all here team where “dead.” BBQ and beers afterwards was relaxing and a great chance to enjoy the company of some of the weird and wonderful characters in the orbit of the University Judo Club. Big thanks to Tim and Aaron for organising the function and to those that attended.
STANDING CHALLENGE:As a parting note, I think it’s fair to say that Uni Judo would easily defeat any paintball team from any other Judo Club in New Zealand. We will take challenges but frankly, we know we would win.
