Marketon Joust: Round 1 Groups G and H

[Tiermann]

[Tiermann]

We’re moving into the last two groups of the day.

Starting out for Group G we have local favorite Sir Sigismund of Sweetwater

[Tiermann]

His opponent this match will be Angeir the Viking from Krull

[Tiermann]

It looks like Sir Sigismund wasn’t quite ready to go this run. His lance is much too high to score a hit. The Viking though has good solid placement and gets a one point shield hit.

[Tiermann]

Sir Sigismund has settled in low clearly. He gets a good solid hit off of Angeir the Viking, and just manages to pull his shield in enough that the Viking misses him completely.
Score has become tied at 1-1

[Tiermann]

Both looking solid here, with a nice shield hit for them

Score tied at 2-2

[Tiermann]

Another good solid run with shield hits for each. That puts the score tied at 3-3, for a win one of them will have to score a point higher than the other at the end of a run

[Tiermann]

Oh, shield hits for both again.  That puts it at 4-4 and still tied. This Viking is looking to be a much stronger competitor than had been expected Sir Edward.

Indeed, he’s clearly had some serious practice up there in Krull.

Wouldn’t think it would be the Ale having any effect?

No I shouldn’t think so, or all the knights would be doing the same.
-
A bit of a delay here, something to do with a stirrup apparently

[Tiermann]

Ah, here we go



And this one is a miss for both. Either the delay or just fatigue taking it’s toll at this point.

Or perhaps both.

Still tied 4-4

[Tiermann]

Verily!
That’s unexpected, the Viking’s thrown Sir Sigismund right off his horse!

Definitely a tough competitor, this Angeir the Viking looks to be something of a wild card this tourney

He’s definitely upset expectations with this match.

That’s a win for Angeir the Viking
