Marketon Joust: Round 3 Groups G and H

[Tiermann]

Sir Seamus uses some of his expertise that showed so well at Winterhaven and does a nice shield feint gaining him a shield hit off Sir Christoph without taking one himself

Tied now 1-1

[Tiermann]

Both looking solid this run, with shield hit’s all around

That moves the tie up to 2-2

[Tiermann]

The last run of the match looks much like the first with Sir Christoph just edging a shield hit off of Sir Seamus while Sir Seamus comes up empty.

That’s a third point for Sir Christoph and a win.

[Tiermann]

We’re at the final match of the Group Rounds now

With Lord Etir Sayest

[Tiermann]

Competing against Baron Roderick Blackthorn

[Tiermann]

Baron Blackthorn won his last two matches and he doesn’t seem to have slowed down any. He gets a nice shoulder hit off of Lord Etir, with Sayest only managing a shield tap.

[Tiermann]

Good on Lord Etir, he’s managed to pull his shield just enough to avoid taking a hit while solidly pounding the Baron’s shield

Score is now tied at 2

[Tiermann]

Both looking strong here we see shield hits on both sides, keeping the score tied, now at 3 points

[Tiermann]

Looks like they both are being more cautious this run and we have a full miss.

Score still tied at 3

[Tiermann]

Wow, what a way to end the day! Lord Etir tried a fancy shield move there but Baron Blackthorn managed to get inside Lord Etir’s shield and knocked him squarely off his horse.

That gives the win for this match to Baron Roderick Blackthorn. He’s won all three of his matches this Tourney and is going on to the playoffs.

Sir Christoph’s win this round was his only one, while Lord Etir Sayest has two wins from rounds 1 and 2. So Lord Etir will also be going on to the playoffs.

That closes out Round Three and our day here at Marketon Jousting Grounds.

The matches for the first round of Playoffs should be posted shortly, and we will see you all tomorrow for more exciting play! Thanks for joining us!
