The Class Five match between [[Isadore Kelly]] from [[Sun Runners Stables]] and Neil Oldenwhite was the first official match of the week, and arguably the best, of the night's matches. The first few minutes had both men getting used to arena combat again. After that they began trading shots and soon, both were moving around the [[Rankar's Deep|Deep]] like old times. After fifteen minutes a slug from Kelly's ''[[Victor]]'' shattered Oldenwhite's ''Atlas'' leg. Oldenwhite landed face-down, and as he struggled to turn over, Kelly peppered him until the official stopped the match and awarded the win to Kelly.<ref name="SRDw1"/> | The Class Five match between [[Isadore Kelly]] from [[Sun Runners Stables]] and Neil Oldenwhite was the first official match of the week, and arguably the best, of the night's matches.

Contents
History[edit]
Had fought for the SHDL and was a Word of Blake POW for months Jihad.[1]
He did participate in the 3086 Championship.[1]
The Class Five match between Isadore Kelly from Sun Runners Stables and Neil Oldenwhite was the first official match of the week, and arguably the best, of the night's matches. The first few minutes had both men getting used to arena combat again. After that they began trading shots and soon, both were moving around the Deep like old times. After fifteen minutes a slug from Kelly's Victor shattered Oldenwhite's Atlas leg. Oldenwhite landed face-down, and as he struggled to turn over, Kelly peppered him until the official stopped the match and awarded the win to Kelly.[1]
During week eight, he was paired against Anne Foster from Regulus Wrath Stables. The fight was a no-flash, ho-hum affair, and ended with Neil's victory.[2]
Prior to his match on week twelve his stats were not very good and with 4-0-7. It could easily be said that he was having a poor season.[3]
For his match in week twelve, he was paired against Peter Blane in a fight for the lead of Class Five, as if Peter won he would take the lead. Neil was having a poor season, but he still was a cagey Deep veteran. Blane started the match by trying to crack Oldenwhite's armor at long-range. But Oldenwhite's return fire was more accurate, forcing Blane's Stalker to fall back. Oldenwhite continued winning the long-range fight, the Atlas missiles scoring armor from the Stalker. Losing the fight, Blane changed tactics and moved in, which proved to be a mistake. At close range, the two titans traded hammer blows, with Blane coming off the worse. Oldenwhite stripped the Stalker's armor off in chunks, leaving Blane with gaping holes in his armor. Blane fell back, but Oldenwhite went on the offense and the match ended when Blane lost both legs within seconds of each other, giving Oldenwhite the win.[3]
For week thirteen, Neil Oldenwhite's match was against first-place Susan Belden. This was a tactical cat-and mouse game with both fighters using the rocky terrain of the Deep. The match was heading toward a draw when Belden made a mistake and hid behind a rock spire that had been weakened by weapons fire. The Atlas' volley struck the spire, and it collapsed onto Beldin's Victor, pinning her. The officials gave Oldenwhite the win, despite the Broken Chains Stables protests.[4]
After two wins in a row, he was paired again against Peter Blaine for his fourteenth week match. This time Peter seized the chance and bested Neil Oldenwhite, using his Stalker's firepower to keep Oldenwhite's Atlas from closing on him and using the massive autocannon.[5]
