Kryal Castles’ leading knight Phillip Leitch, last year’s winner Cliff Marisma and jousters Dave Williamson and Petra Ozlin’s prepared to battle for the annual Keith Ryall Memorial Joust on Saturday.
The Keith Ryall Memorial Joust saw thundering horses race towards each other as brave knights competed for the glory of the annual prize.
Kryal Castles’ founding king Keith Ryall, who died in 2015, followed his bold vision and dream to build the now beloved replica castle at Mount Warrenheip in 1971. Officially opened in 1974, the bluestone castle has its own moat, drawbridge, tavern and maze.
Mr Leitch trumped the competition and took out the event on his trusty steed Valiant. Second place went to Mr Williamson, third place was last year's winner Mr Marisma and in fourth place was Ms Ozolins.
