Not really to sure what to say, even after 5-6 days since the event me and the London guys are still shell shocked that this could happen..... WOW
Before I go any further, I need to congratulate the Cardiff team and supporters for bringing the heat and making the party pop... It was a great night asides from the result ;)
The evening started so well, hundreds of people came through the door earlier than ever before... cameras, Flips and mics were everywhere - The press were out in force, hungry for a story!
All the artists were ready and pumped for the event - The London guys started well and drew real slickly with clean cut (trademark) lines, while the Welsh threw the black straight up and worked a lot slower...
After 35mins Team London looked nearly finished and kind of shot themselves in the foot as our team captain Discoteck decided to go relax at the bar ?!?!?! Not the right action and example a captain should be setting for his team or the crowd..
Cardiff carried on working hard for there points and lost a few pounds sweating in front of the hot lamps that sit right behind them on the floor.
90mins were up and both walls looked amazing - two very different approaches in style and design - London came with the usual clear, bold line (using the edding special marker) and strong punch line while Cardiff used the mini roller a lot more and chiseled out some inverted characters and Maggie Thatcher riding a miners cart.
CARDIFF - Maggie Thatcher closing down the mines
Jimi Crayon back on the mic for the first time since last years London Grand Final was in fine form and he introduced the first judge (Kieran, MTV) who came up on stage looking a little nervous and quickly voted for London....
The came the shock of the century as Cardiff went on to win the crowd vote to make it 1-1 - I was standing behind the decks and could not believe it when 80% of the crowd came out of the closet and voted for Wales over London... shocking and something that still gives me nightmares a week on...
Final Judge vote came down to Anil from Flip Video (our sponsors), he is born and bred in England and came up to the stage smiling with confidence.... And then after a few seconds of though I heard him whisper to himself "oh no I am going to get lynched"... BAM he lifted his arm and there it was CARDIFF in huge letters.... The basement bar went crazy and I literally needed 4-5 cuddles to get over such a defeat that could possible send London out of the EUROLEAGUE...
In response to this result, we are now going to lay on a coach from London to Cardiff for next months return battle on the 30th May
Until next time
