With his opponent Sir Barry Barrington-Smythe

[Tiermann]

The steady play continues for the day with square shield hits for both knights
Score 1-1

[Tiermann]

In a repeat of Match 2 in Group C we have the two knights rushing a bit and ending up with a miss for the second run

[Tiermann]

Rubeous tries the shield feint Sir Arjay had just used to such good effect. Sir Barry manages to just get a hit on the edge of Rubeous’ shield though, and we have one point for each

Still tied, now at 2-2

[Tiermann]

Wow, very close there. It looked like Rubeous was going to get a head strike off of Sir Barry, but Sir Barry manages to duck just far enough out that Rubeous misses. Meanwhile Sir Barry has taken advantage of Rubeous concentration on the head strike to get his lance above Rubeous’ shield for a strike against Rubeous’ shoulder.

That gives Sir Barry Barrington-Smythe 4 points to Rubeous Raven’s 2. Sir Barry wins the match.

That’s 3 wins in a row for Sir Barry, and he is moving on to the playoffs.

Jousting against Sir Jaknoi of Gacim

[Tiermann]

Both come out strong with Sir Jaknoi getting his shield down just in time to avoid getting hit, he manages to catch the edge of JustFred’s shield though and gains a point.

One point Sir Jaknoi
