Day 2 gates are about to open and we’re shouting out this LEGEND - Aiden is 13yrs old and has been following Buhurt since he was 9.

He has since become an honorary Team Vultures - Sunshine Coast Armoured Combat having attended all their bouts and yesterday was presented with a signed shield from the team!

He’s counting down the years until he can join the team but in the meantime we’re loving all their fans coming through the Abbeystowe gates!

If you missed tickets or can’t make it- the live stream link is https://jta.li/Buhurt

MEET YOUR HOSTS

The 2026 Abbeystowe Challenger Clash kicks off TOMORROW!

With Saturday now sold out and NO tickets available at the gate, you can join our crew on the Livestream reaching out across Australia.

Catch the event emcee and herald, Matthew Keating, a seasoned actor and professional presenter, bring the sport to life.

Matt is known for his screen roles in acclaimed productions such as Underbelly (Stan), Glitch (Netflix), and Gallipoli (Netflix) and more recently White Cross (2026) - and he brings that same commanding presence and storytelling instinct to the world of medieval combat.

Providing the technical insights and sporting tips on the commentary mics throughout the day we've also got Kyle & Jess, both competitors in the sport who will give you all the juicy insider knowledge, rules and (literal!) blow by blow updates across the weekend.

Tune in from anywhere you live and watch the event live - or grab the last tickets left for Sunday and join us in the grandstands. We'll share the livestream link on social media tomorrow morning!
