Competion in Cork! A new competition will be held in Cork on Saturday 17th June, at the Lee Maltings. It will be an open competition, starting with foil, then epee, and if time permits, sabre. The numbers of entrants will determine whether the pools are mixed or not. There will be a minimal entrace fee of £3 or £4 to cover the prizes, which will be slightly different than the usual fare. Also, for the virtue of beginners, the present competition will exclude those who have won a senior title. However, if the fencer has won, for example, foil, he or she can still fence epee and sabre. There will be the usual entertainment laid on! Contact Dan Daly at danjdaly@yahoo.co.uk |
