Marketon: Playoffs Round One

[Tiermann]

The next match features Lord Alderran of Avelina. After a bad fall the first day, and complications from it and a head strike two days ago, he recovered and unhorsed in one run yesterday. He looks in fine shape today.

[Tiermann]

Up against him is a competitor new to the tournament circuit, but one who’s definitely picked up some fans. Alban de Fleury



Not surprisingly he seems to be especially popular among the Flowerland contingent at the joust.

[Tiermann]

De Fleury is getting off to a good start with a solid shield hit. It looks like Lord Alderran was a bit wide there and came up with a miss.

One point de Fleury

[Tiermann]

Lord Alderran does better this run and manages a shield strike even though de Fleury made every effort to avoid it. De Fleury’s own lance ran a bit high and he had a miss.

Score tied at 1

[Tiermann]

Looks like they’re both taking a run for sizing up here, miss for both

Still tied at 1

[Tiermann]

Back at it this run, with two solid shield strikes.

Score tied now at 2

[Tiermann]

Looks like they both made serious effort to get above their opponents shield. Solid competitors though who both managed blocks as well.

Point for each makes it tied now at 3.

[Tiermann]

De  Fleury managed a nice farthingale shield pivot there and it’s won the match for him. De Fleury scores one for a shield hit and Lord Alderran has a miss making the match score 4 to 3.
