**Disclaimer: Posing the klickies is sometimes very hard and then getting the right angle with the camera even harder. So although things may seem to be different on the picture, the text is conclusive on what was happened.
In this match we have Sir Christopher and Sir Richard, The Red Dragon Baron "The Red Dick". Apparently Sir Christopher’s squire was missing at the parade because of sampling to much of the local wine. It is apparently pretty good wine.

Drat and curses! Well played, Sir Adler.
I was hoping Sir Seamus would be spurred on by his beloved Chicago Bears' glorious playoff victory, but alas...
:lol:

Well, well, my squire eventually made it to the field! Lucky he has the flagpole to help him stand upright. Thanks Gis for the pics. ;-)
I hope Sir Christopher will do as well or better in the next stages!

In group H we start with Sir Christopher, who goes on the field against Sir Adler of Saxony
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/gorraxpb/Winterhaven%20Jousting%20Tournament/Group%20H/H31.jpg)
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/gorraxpb/Winterhaven%20Jousting%20Tournament/Group%20H/H32.jpg)
Sir Adler is not really focused on his defense and doesn’t mind taking a hit on his shield. The gut-buster move shown by Sir Elric in the previous match (see Group G) is what he looking for and he is able to pull it off with great success dumping Sir Christopher on the ground.
Sir Christopher: 1 point (-2 PD)
Sir Adler: 3 points, +1 honour (+2 PD)

In the final match of the second day we see Sir Richard, “The Red Dick” face off against Sir Seamus Flynn of Belarthe.
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/gorraxpb/Winterhaven%20Jousting%20Tournament/Group%20H/H41.jpg)
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/gorraxpb/Winterhaven%20Jousting%20Tournament/Group%20H/H42.jpg)
The Red Dick is able to score a point with a shield hit in the first run, however his shield was too low to prevent him from the gut body blow that Sir Seamus deals him. He is however able to stay seated and the match will continue for at least a second run.
The Red Dick: 1 point
Sir Seamus: 2 points
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/gorraxpb/Winterhaven%20Jousting%20Tournament/Group%20H/H43.jpg)
After all the exciting jousts in the last couple of matches the end of the day is actually a bit boring. Both man are able to hit the others shield. Nothing fancy, but very effective as it brings Sir Seamus the win in this match.
The Red Dick: 2 points (-1 PD)
Sir Seamus: 3 points (+1 PD)

After the second day we have the following standing in Group H:
1) Sir Adler: 2 wins, +1 honour, +3 PD

WHAT?! >:D >:D >:D
This is not fair, I slipped down, somebody waxed my saddle!
You don't really think I'm out because I went to the ground, Sir Adler, do you? Well come here and taste my blade! :knight:

The Winterhaven guards quickly run to the defense of Sir Adler. Surrounding him and trying to calm the enraged Sir Christopher.

One less stout before the match seems to have aided Sir Seamus' focus.

(As Aun Kerac)
Walking up to Sir Christopher I place a hand on his shoulder.
"You have done honorably. And though I be not your lord,
I beseech you quell your anger, so as not to dishonor your country.
Remember, you still have time to win your next match,
and you can once again test your strength against Sir Adler."

I trust there are no lingering ill feelings, Sir Christopher. :knight:
That, my friend, will be dealt with later. I'm not over with this felony, I'll just wait and see the results. >:D For now though, I've decided to support Red Eye, he's my kind of fighter.
Go Red Eye! Go! :knight: :crossed:
