Team Dublin s Tour Diary:
SECRET WARS - 1st Leg Q-Final Battle in London Town
Team Dublin hit the sky's and jetted over to LDN for the wkend to kick off the 1st Leg Q-Final battle against our old friends and pioneers of Secret Wars....
ROUND 1:
Right game faces on - and to The Book Club we headed for what turned out to be a very sweaty and packed affair of Irish and English supporters cheering on both teams. The battle ended up being quite the experience with both teams literally having equal amounts of people screaming to take the decibel reader vote. However in the end Riff, Alfa and Teck pulled out a piece to take a guest judge and the all important home crowd vote - FINAL SCORE 2-1 = London
Overall fun night and many thanks to the amount of Irish people that turned out to support us....we ll get them next time!

Round 2:
SECRET WARS - 2nd Leg Q-Final Battle in Dublin`s Fair City
Round 2:
Firstly a big shout out to everyone that came to this battle! We decided to switch it up with a venue change so it was great to see some familiar AND the many new faces that showed. Having already lost 2-1 away meant that we needed either 3-0 to advance to the semi or 2-1 to draw. What happened next was a FIRST in Secret Wars history! Both London & Dublin pulled out all the stops in deliver 2 sick pieces that saw a guest judge and crowd vote going Dublin's way & the final guest judge vote going London s way. TIE BREAKER it went.....and this was no ordinary tie breaker battle to go through to the Semi.
LADIES & GENTLEMEN I GIVE YOU THE 1ST IN SECRET WARS HISTORY....
