The '''2009 CPPS Round 3''' was the third round of the 2009 [[Central Premier Paintball Series]] season, held on 24 May 2009 at the Midland Tournament Paintball Centre in Penkridge. Incredibles won M5 Premiere League, Disruption won M7 Premiere League, and Rebellion won the three-man knockout competition.[1][2][4]
