Whitchurch Fencing Club

Club Championship competition - 5th December 2023

Another busy evening for the club, as 9 club members fought it out for the title of Club Champion. The format was a Poule Unique, 5 hits, 3 minutes max per bout, and competition-style scoring against 'Total Victories', tied places being decided on Hits Scored minus Hits Received indicators. Referees : club coaches Michael & Steve.

Once again a high standard of fencing was evident, with good performances from new comer Chris Stevenson, and old-hand Paul (Red) Redmond. Welcome back too to Luke Tait returning to fencing after a spell away, and apologies from Abi Brown and Dave Lewis, who had hoped to attend. Very strong performances from Andrea, Marc, Luke & Rupert kept everyone's attention, with only the slightest number of points separating them. Well done to winner,Luke, with 7 victories, and the higher indicator over Marc, also with 7 victories. A very close match.

Very well done also to Adrian & Nadia, two of the highest placed from the previous week's Novices & Improvers event, in facing up to their more experienced club members in such a brisk competition.

Thanks also to Paul for helping setting up, and assisting with the running order.

More fencing in 2024 !
