The Maltese Militia Paintball team is proud to announce another winner of our Custom Prize Package.

On Sunday May 16th, the Maltese Militia attended a fund raiser for the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation at Xtreme Paintball in Agawam, MA. Our Custom Prize Package was donated as a single prize as part of the fund raising. In the end over $1000 dollars was raised for a great cause. This was the first annual Guns for Hoses Event and plans are already being made for the 2nd annual event in 2011.

The winner from this event is Billy Jones. Billy was attending his first ever paintball game. A phenomenal game with a arm full of prizes at the end. Quite a introduction to the great sport of paintball. We also did something a little different at this event. In order to thank Chief Michael Rocke, of the Blandford Fire Department, for organizing the event, He was presented with a 511 Tactical knife from Guardian Uniforms.

Attached is a photo of Billy with a few members of the team. Billy won a Barrel and Fin set from Hammerhead Paintball, A custom set of marker grips and a T-shirt from Stinger Paintball Designs, a case of Anti fog wipes from Motosolutions Fog-Tech, a large Bag of Swag of EMR and Blue™s Crew goodies from EMR, Blue and Blue™s Crew, about 50 Hoo-Ahhs Field Towels, a custom Goggle Bag from Eye 2 Eye Designs, and a beanie from Midnight Medicine.

A special thanks goes out to all the players, Chief Rocke, Joe and all the staff from Xtreme Paintball, Point Blank Paintball, Elite Paintball, the Longmeadow Firefighters Local 1903, and all the other folks who made this event a hugh success.
