Marketon Joust: Round 1 Groups G and H

[Tiermann]

Moving on to match two in Group G we have Sir Wolfram

[Tiermann]

And his opponent the Mighty Mysterioso

[Tiermann]

Two experienced knights here, and it shows. Mysterioso gets a shield hit off of Sir Wolfram this first run. Sir Wolfram manages to swing his lance above Mysterioso’s shield and gets a 2 point body hit.

Mysterioso 1 and Sir Wolfram 2

[Tiermann]

It looked like the shield shape was a disadvantage for Mysterioso that run Sir Edward?

It’s a tricky shield type Vanidel. That cut out curve lets it sit over the top of a lance providing good protection but any error of placement can give an opening to the opponent’s lance. Defnitely not a shield type for amateurs.

[Tiermann]

A steady run this time with square shield hits for both contestants
The body hit in the first run gives Sir Wolfram the point advantage here and the win
Sir Wolfram 3 to Mysterioso 2

[Tiermann]

We’re heading into our last Group of the day, group H

First up will be Lord Etir Sayest

[Tiermann]

And his opponent is the winner from the Winterhaven Joust earlier in the year, Sir Seamus Flynn

[Tiermann]

It’s a shield hit and a point for Lord Etir this first run, and a high miss for Sir Seamus

[Tiermann]

Sir Seamus manages a nice shield hit this run, but Lord Etir sneaks above the shield for a good solid hit to Sir Seamus’ body. That’s 1 point for Sir Seamus but 2 for Lord Etir, giving Lord Etir the win with 3 points total.

[Tiermann]

In our final match of the day we have Sir Christoph of Riverway joining us form the North
