Bout One: Lord Gwayne Hightower vs Norys Westerling
In the longest fight in the duels so far Lord Gwayne and Ser Norys face off with each of them eager to test the other's might. While the two exchange minor hits early on in the fight much of the fight itself consisted of the two circling around each other looking for openings. These two masters of the sword both realize that an opening will not be presenting itself and clash into each other. Gwayne ends up victorious as during the clash Norys falls for a feint leaving his side open to the blade of the Lord of the Hightower.
Gwayne Hightower advances.

Bout Three: Rickon Stark vs Hubert Crakehall
The Lord Commander of the Kingsguard and the Knight of the West stands tall and proud as they square off to battle each other. The two veterans of numerous battles watch their opponent carefully looking for an opening. Rickon is the first one to spot on as his sword lashes out in the blink of an eye towards Hubert's torso, it misses though as Crakehall brings his arm up to deflect the blow. This continues for a bit until Hubert deciding on a gamble to leave himself open, attacks the Lord Commander this goes poorly for himself as Rickon parries the blow and counterattacks bringing his own arm down on the Crakehall knight's head.
Rickon Stark advances.

Bout One: Rickon Stark vs Gwayne Hightower
Once the duel starts Rickon Stark in a move of either sheer luck or brilliant foresight charges headfirst into the Lord of the Hightower with his sword held out in front of him. Lord Gwayne not expecting a forthright assault from the otherwise cautious Lord Commander was stunned into a paralysis as Rickon's helm made solid contact with his chest plate. Winded and unsure of what just happened Gwayne falls to his knees and yields.
Rickon Stark advances.

Final Round: Lord Commander Rickon Stark vs Ser Vance Marbrand
Lord Commander Rickon Stark watches as his opponent takes the field. Rickon smiles from under his helm and he lifts both arms out to the side of him leaving himself open to his opponent. Vance falls for the trap and charges at the Lord Commander trying to get to him before Rickon was able to move to defend himself. Yet once Vance stepped within the appropriate distance of Rickon the Lord Commander swung his sword in a large arc to crash into the other man's sword sending it off target while continuing the arc of his arm to bring his elbow in line with Vance's neck. Vance unable to stop his forward momentum from his charge runs into Rickon's elbow and collapses on the ground as he is left gasping for air.
Lord Commander Rickon Stark wins the Sword Duels.
