Ballarat veteran Phillip Leitch is joining compatriots Cliff Marisma and Andrew McKinnon to combat the NZ team of Jezz Smith, Vikki Subritzy and Simon Neilsen.
Cliff Marisma recently knocked out Phil to win the St Ives Medal in NSW and is also a Ballarat local, while Andrew McKinnon has travelled from the kingdom of Sydney to join the side.
Kryal Castle is also hosting many family activities to complement the joust, including historical ground combat, birds of prey, torture chamber tours, medieval crafts, food and drink; a maze and plenty of activities for children.
The Tasman Shield International Jousting Tournament is broadcast on Fox Sports.
