2013 Championship U19

2013 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP U19 VIDEO-PRESENTATION (on YouTube)

The U19 competition was this year held at the first event of the Millennium Series 2013 season, in April, in Puget, France.  Being earlier in the calender than previous years, it attracted less teams than in the past as team Coaches were unable to train the National teams in time for the first event. However, this did not stop the young men in their desire to take part in the Championship and to prove to everyone that they are a reliable replacement! It is always great to see the young players on the field, it means that paintball spirit is not going to die, the youths will keep it burning!

Norway, Great Britain, France, Germany and Russia were all represented by their National Youth teams.  Youths were fighting for the right to become the best of the best among the young players under 19 years old, for the right to be called a CHAMPION!

They may not be as experienced as the elders are, but their hearts were filled with fire, desire to win, the desire to be the best, the desire to play and to play as  top-level players. The spectators  fueled the fire even more with their cheering, national flags waving, signing of anthems and constant support during all the Championship`s games!

This time Great Britain had to defend their Champions title from last year, and they were playing hard. Their games were great........but the Norwegians were better! So we have the new Champion – Norwegian U19 team. British Youths came 2^nd, but they rightly were not too disappointed with this placing. Next year they will have a chance to prove again that they are the best of the best!

This was a triumph for Norway! They were playing fantastic by acting on the field as an experienced team! That was also a great job of their coach!

Our special thanks go to Euroref guys, which were working hard on the field.

We say thank you to the SPECTATORS, because the National teams would not be so good without them.

Also we would like to thank to all who helped us to organise the European U19 Championship; The Millennium Series and all the National Federations involved in the organisation.

See you next year!
