Marketon Joust: Round 1 Groups C and D

[Tiermann]

It looks close for both but they were just a bit too far apart and they both end up missing.

Sir Barry leans in on a fast run while keeping his shield inside enough to avoid getting hit. His lance swings up at the last moment and he hits JustFred on the helmet. 
That’s 2 points to Sir Barry making it tied 2-2

[Tiermann]

It looks like it’s going to be a solid shield hit for both this run, but at the last moment Sir Barry drops his shield down enough to avoid getting hit, while keeping his lance steady for the solid hit on JustFred’s shield.
That gives Sir Barry a point making it 3-2 and handing him the win.

That’s it for Group D today.

To sum up we have wins in Goup C by Sir Elric and Sir Merriadoc, and in Group D by Sir Jaknoi of Gacim and Sir Barry Barrington-Smythe

There will be a break now while the Groundsman and his horse Zamboni smooth the field out, and the Royalty take a nice leisurely luncheon. See you all later in the day for Groups E to H

Too bad for Rubeus the Bloodthirsty! Though, as I know him, he must be in a berserking mood. Don't stand on his way to the tavern!

Too bad for Rubeus the Bloodthirsty.He  looked very strong and angry!

[Elric]

Excellent layout and pics. Very interesting!  Did Elric silence the crowd?  Wonder if they threw jungle juice at him?

[Gis]

Go Sir Merriadoc, Go Sir Jaknoi!!

I guess the experience from the first tournament does help somewhat, and of course Sir Merriadocs, grey hairs :-)

JustFred was a little sad to be the loser but then he noticed all the fields of blooming flowers and decided that it would be much more fun to go frolic in the flowers.
