Beside the oval where Josh's team were playing, we heard yelling and the clash of metal. Intrigued, I went beyond the spectators and to my surprise found a group of knights in full battle cry! I started talking to one gentleman, dressed in 12 century clothes, including a long grey beard, who was watching and he told me they were re-enactors from all over NSW and Canberra, and they meet up to compete against each other and discuss all things medieval. I have to say that watching them I saw passion and clear attention to detail. Despite the different groups representing different medieval eras, they were quite serious in their fighting. It was very interesting to watch.
Josh and his skipper Blake Parker with the trophy!

Ha - who won the knight-fight?
congratulation dear! your bogs sach a proud.
Cool pictures! That would be quite something to see... We were at a Scottish event here in Canada once and saw a medieval battle restaged. Interesting to me what catches people's attention and that there are enough people interested in that aspect of history to do such things! :)
