Its possible without any modifications at all.

Last time I tried to control the position of a cylinder with a double solenoid and I attached other one in the relase end. It worked. But sometimes the cylinder retracted slowly even I close the relase end.
We had the same problem at first last year untill we discovered a leak on our pneumatics system right after the storage tank. As long as there are no leaks and the system can hold over 60psi before the match starts you will not have a problem.
