Jousting at the Ponderosa Farm (Battle of Wakefield)


As promised, pictures of the Joust at Wakefield. This was a contest between John Nesfield and Steve Morris jousting as the Welsh Knight.

In the first leg of the contest on Saturday the Welsh Knight triumphed,
by 6 breaks to 4.





On Sunday, the contest was again hard fought. When John Nesfield was leading at 6 breaks to 5 he sportingly offered the skilful Welsh Knight the chance to equalise.







The final score...........7-5 to John Nesfield.

Speaking after the event John Nesfield said in true medieval style "This was the best buzz I have ever had from Jousting. It made all the hours of training worth while. It was an honour and a privelege to come up against Steve, and I would like to think we will cross lances again."
