Gloucester Armoured Combat hosts first home tournament this summer

Gloucester Armoured Combat is holding its inaugural tournament, the Severnside Clash, featuring teams from across the UK. The event celebrates the sport, which involves combatants dressed in full medieval armour, and has a competitive format focused on being the last team standing. The idea for the tournament came from a casual discussion at a pub. Both women's team captain Dora and men's team captain Kiran Emery highlighted the club's diversity and the historical significance of the city as a fitting backdrop for the event. The tournament is expected to showcase the skills and dedication of the participants, who have been training diligently for this home advantage.
