(Savannah, GA)   The first day of operation for Chatham County Paintball at Oglethorpe Speedway Park was a success according to it’s creators.  Twenty-four paintball enthusiasts were on hand for the first day of open competition at the recently built field located in the wooded areas of the speedway property in Pooler.

            “This is an awesome field to play on,” said Savannah’s John Trent.  “I appreciate the guys doing this for our area.  We used to have to drive a long ways to play.  Now this field is very convenient.  It’s great.”

            Players from Savannah, Pooler, Guyton, Rincon, Statesboro, Hinesville, Hilton Head and Bluffton were on hand for the opening round of action.  All attendees were complimentary of the field, obstacles, bunkers and forts.

            “The scenario games were cool,” said South Effingham high schooler Patrick Arnett.  “It made the games more fun than just shooting at each other.  It was like a video game only live.”

            Chatham County Paintball at OSP will be open every other Saturday beginning on Saturday, December 31.  The fields are also available for private parties including company outings, birthday parties and group play.  There are rentals available for those who do not have their own equipment and there is also a Pro Shop located at the speedway.
