Commonwealth Games off to a Flying Start!

The first Commonwealth Games have gotten off to a flying start with a variety of events in three different nations. The Games are being held to celebrate the first anniversary of the Grand Commonwealth.

The first event to be completed is the camel racing, held on the ancient camel racing grounds in Babkha. Three participants competed in four races, held in Vey, Raspur, Kamalshahr and Vayelon, with the final points awarded as follows: Sir Iain de Vembria - 7.5, Extreme007 - 3, Dugobert Wurmser - 1.5. Action replays of each race may be seen here.

Another event being held is a football (soccer) tournament, which is taking place in the MZM Superdome, Aurelict. The Trishuli Extremes led the Halberd Harriers, Vayelon Firewolves, and Adelwin Power through to the finals, for which the Georgetown Grenadiers failed to qualify, having put in a consistently miserable performance. The finals will be played on Thursday (June 15th) and will see the Halberd Harriers play Adelwin Power, while the Vayelon Firewolves meet the Trishuli Extremes. The Grand Final will then follow to determine the ultimate champion and runners-up.

Other events yet to be concluded include chess and dominoes championships.
