Marketon: Semi-Finals

[Tiermann]

We have Arngeir the Viking of Krull, the big surprise of the tourney.



I certainly didn’t expect to see him here in the Semis when we first introduced the groups. His skill level is much higher than a typical unknown.

[Tiermann]

Indeed, and here is our other competitor Sir Lawrence of Cashtown



He’s really been a second big surprise this tournament. He was dead last at the Winterhaven joust earlier this year and here he is in the semi-finals.  Clearly he’s been putting a lot of work in over the months.

Yes I expect so. Coming in last like that can be a real incentive to some fellows to put their all into the next event.

[Tiermann]

Our first run of the match looks about as solid as any in the tournament so far. A square on shield hit for both competitors ties things right off at 1 point each

[Tiermann]

Oh, I say, what a clever shield twist Sir Lawrence used there. I’m sure the Viking thought he had that second shield point but Sir Lawrence has quite taken it away with that move. He scored against the Viking as well making the score Sir Lawrence 2 and Angeir the Viking 1

[Tiermann]

Verily! Look at that! Sir Lawrence has unhorsed Angeir the Viking!

What a time to do it. The Viking is going to be deeply disappointed by this, getting so close to the Finals and missing out.

He got off to a rocky start but all that hard work has paid off, Sir Lawrence of Cashtown is going on to the Finals against Lord Etir Sayest.

We’ll see you all tomorrow for the Marketon Jousting Tournament Finals!

I must agree a very unexpected performace from Sir lawrence. Or maybe his performance in Winterhaven were just a fluke.

Also a heartfelt congrtulations for Lord Etir!!!

Good luck to both and I am sure it will be an exciting match.

[Wolf Knight]

What an exciting turn out!! Lord Etir is going to the finals!!! 

[Martin Milner]

Congratulations to Lord Etir and Sir Lawrence on their marvellous performance, and the best of Marketon luck to both of them in the final!

What a tournament it's been, months of preparation, planning and training, competitiors travelling around the world to compete, it hardly seems possible we're coming close to the end. The smell of the crowd, the roar of the greasepaint, the....   flowers!

[Giorginetto]

A very exciting round once again! Shame Arngeir didn't make it to the final but that's the beaty of this tournament! Look forward to an exciting final!!

That Sir Lawrence is truly a dark horse!     I didn't know he had it in him to get this far.  The excitement is building . . .
