Remuera Gun Club (New Zealand Paintball Team)
Remuera Gun Club was a New Zealand competitive paintball team documented in the 2005 3x Series. Despite its name, it was a paintball team rather than a firearms club.
The team competed in the first two confirmed rounds of the three-player series, finishing eleventh in the opening round and seventh in Round 2.[1][2]
History
[edit]The first recovered result for Remuera Gun Club comes from Round 1 of the 2005 3x Series. Results posted on 10 July placed the team eleventh among twelve entries with 247 points.[1]
Before Round 2, Remuera Gun Club was listed among teams expressing interest rather than among the confirmed registrations. The subsequent results establish that the team participated on 11 September. It scored 458 points and finished seventh among eleven teams.[2]
The series table published following Round 2 credited Remuera Gun Club with two series points.[2]
Team member Michael Earley recalls that the name was a joke referring to the members living in the Auckland suburb of Remuera. He tentatively identifies the team as:
- Michael Earley
- Vitaly Miheev
- Francis Hambook
No contemporary roster has been recovered to corroborate this recollection. These names should therefore be treated as a contributor-identified likely roster rather than as a confirmed line-up for either tournament.
The spelling Francis Hambook is the contributor-confirmed spelling of the player's name. A separate 2007 roster source concerning Team Insane printed the surname as Hambrock, which has been identified as a spelling error. That later source does not independently verify Remuera Gun Club's 2005 roster.
