While the experienced Epeeists are in Sydney, battling in the only FIE World Cup event hosted in Australia (Challenge Australia) another group of intrepid fencers will be competing in the inaugural Intervarsity Novice foil competition.
This will be held 22 May, starting at 3:00 pm, for Novice foilists who have taken up fencing this year. We are talking beginners in experience, but masters in terms of enthusiasm and competitive spirit.
The event will be run as per the (almost) monthly unofficial competions known as Couer de Lion (details can be found here) which is a round robin event, followed by grading into 3 poules (Gold, Silver and Bronze) for further round-robin within the grading group. Winners from each group will be recognised.
A gold coin donation for the prizes will be requested, and retirement to the local pub etc for
dinner and war stories will be encouraged.
