Rotarians unite for paintball warfare

The four rotary clubs of Guam came together on Saturday for their first ever Rotary Clubs of Guam Paintball Tournament held at the Tiyan Paintball Field.


Rotary Club of Guam member Mark Fish was the primary organizer of the tournament. According to him, the tournament served as a way to bring together the four rotary clubs of Guam.


“We just wanted to bring all the clubs together for fun, fellowship and good competition and also to strengthen the organization overall,” Fish stated. “After talking to Van Shelly, President of the Rotary Club of Guam, we decided a paintball tournament was something we wanted to do.”


He added that ‘hopefully we can make it an annual thing.’


The rotary clubs of Northern Guam, Sunrise Guam, Tumon Bay, Guam as well as the Guam Rotaractors all participated in the eight round, double round robin event. The rules of warfare were simple: the last man standing from each game got the win and one point for their respective team.


At the end of the day, the Rotary Club of Guam’s Rotary A team emerged as the overall winner after dominating all of the other teams without incurring a single loss.


The undefeated team consisted of RCG members Valentino Perez, Dave Silva, Wes Cassidy, Dan Beaver, Rob Stahl.
