Division F

Marvin_the_Arvn (Danish with Baltic Tribes) beat Tratmot (Teutonic Order) 61-34

Weekly round-up
LuciusSulla (Achaemenid) has made a very strong start in Division A by winning his first 3 matches. His mostly likely challenger is last season's runner-up in this section, harveylh (Macedonian) has started with a win, but Questar17 (Etruscan) is currently in second place having secured 7 points from his first 2 starts. A slower start in Division B where newcomer tyronec (Syracusan) has started briskly with 2 wins. desertedfox (Gallic), looking to bounce back from last season's relegation has also started with a win. Division C has all the makings of a tight contest. Veteran ulysisgrunt (Gallic) is the early leader with 3 wins from 4 starts and he is pursued by SawyerK (Greek) who has 2 wins from 3 matches. joggy (Spartan) is racing through his matches in Division D and his 3 wins from 6 matches has put him top of the table for the time being. Again, I am expecting this to be a very tight division with several promising players in their second or third seasons in the line-up. Division E has started slowly as well with just 2 matches completed so far that saw wins for CoryC (Pontic) and Captainwaltersavage (Roman). Delbruck (Achaemenid) is the leader in Division F with 3 straight wins, one of them being against Ray552 (Seleucid) who has also won 3 matches. MarcoCato75 (Roman) and Malabar (Thracian) have also picked up points from their opening matches.

Div C

Morat (Ostrogoths/Germans) beat lydianed 48-19

Tough battle - where for a while the Ostrogoth horse struggled to make inroads against resolute Caledonian infantry. In the end the Ostrogoths managed to find a few flanks and break into the Caledonian centre, while the forces on the flanks just managed to hold up their foes for long enough to claim a win.

Thanks to lydianed for a good battle!

In Division F Burgot (Hebrew) has made a blistering start with 6 wins and a draw yet he has not yet managed to shake off the pursuit of dim30 (Thracian) who has 4 wins from 5 starts.
