Some of our ladies travelled down to Largs for the Inverclyde Open.

Their results were as follows:

• 6th - Maria Cabrelli (who claims still to fence at our club)
• 10th - Ruth Davidson
• 17th - Helen Pitt

Full results can be found via the link below

Scotland came 2nd overall in the recent Veterans 4 Nations International in Dublin.  Some great results for our teams, especially the Women's Sabre team who won all their matches.

Also well done to Fiona Jamieson, stepping in at the last minute to complete our Women's Foil team - and holding her own in her first competition.

Results for fencers from our club:

• Women's Foil - Fiona Jamieson - Broze
• Men's Sabre - Keith Davidson - Silver
• Men's Epee - Mark McKenzie - Silver

As in previous years, when not running the cafe (or DT) some of our members participated in the actual competition of the Glasgow Open 2013.

In the Ladies' Foil there were good results for 

• Helen Pitt, L16
• Maria Cabrelli, L16
• Ruth Davidson, L32

In the Men's Epee and Foil, Simon and Kris (a couple of our recent beginners) managed great results for their first Open competition - and it being the largest competition in Scotland.

Men's Epee

Some brave souls battled through the snow to attend the recent Wallace Fencing Epee 48er competition:

• Poule 2
  • Bronze - Duncan MacFadyen
• Poule 3
  • Bronze - Colin MacInnes
  • 5th - Kris Moodley

The next 48er will be a Foil one on 11th May - entry online at http://www.wallacefencing.org.uk/~wfa/page158.html

That event is the final in a series of 6 48ers with the cash prizes awarded to the top 3 overall competitors.

The Dundee Duel is an unique annual 1-hit Epee competition, where competitors compete both individually and as part of a team.  Several of our fencers attended this year's event:

• 9th - Duncan MacFadyen
• 12th - Mark McKenzie
• 25th - Greig Marshall
• 49th - Kris Moodley
• 63rd - Sarah Loughran

Some good club results at the recent Sabre 48er held by Wallace Fencing Academy including some first time sabreurs.

There were a couple of rounds of teams and then to the serious individual poules

• Poule 2: Gold, Keith Davidson
• Poule 3: Silver, Mark McKenzie
• Poule 4: 5th, Colin Macinnes
• Poule 8: Bronze, Johnny Mulholland

Full results are available

A select few of the club members made it along to the Scottish Open 2013 held at Meadowbank Sports centre - the rest were presumably still recovering from the holidays.

Women's Foil

• Maria Cabrelli (10th)
• Ruth Davidson (23rd)

Men's Foil

• Duncan Macfadyen (14th)
• Colin Macinnes (42nd)

Men's Sabre

• Keith Davidson (21st)

Men's Epee

• Henri Techer (40th)

An almost full turn out for this 48er held at Wallace Fencing Academy - there were 48 entrants but 2 cried off sick on the day but with 1 reserve on the day we had 47. Maybe next time we will get the full 48.

With so many people we just had time for 4 rounds of individual competition. Good results from our club members - for several of whom this was their first competition.

Club members competing
