Hello Fencers,
Our October Epee Championship takes place on Saturday (27th Oct.). It's always a mighty battle. Let's see our foiners out in force for this one.
On that Saturday we will be upstairs in the Assembly Hall at our usual venue rather than the sports Hall that will be undergoing some sort of repair. NB: it is still the Oasis Academy Brightstowe, Penpole Lane, Shirehampton. It's just in another room.
The Bristol Schools Sabre T1 Chamionship saw some classic contests of attack and defence, with nerve and timing at a premium.
The Over 13's medalists were: Dario Blandford (Gold), Joe Hayes-Lynch (Siilver) and Boldizsar Melegh (Bronze).
In the U13 category, Gold went to Lucia Furr, who also came fourth in the mixed poule with her older rivals....
Well done to all who took part and thanks to Nigel Cooley and Louis Findlay-Smith, the John Cabot Learning Federation Fencing Club coaching team, our tireless referees, Dan Wilkinson and Martin Dale, and Anna Grodent for her excellent organisation of the championship.
Our affiliate club at John Cabot Learning Federation's fencing club sent a fine contingent of sabreurs and sabreuses who did their coaches and themselves great credit.
It was a great contest, fought in the very best spirit. Roll on our Primary School Championships on November 10th .
See you soon,
John
