SAFC v HITCHIN MATCH REPORT

Last Thursday, Hitchin came to us for a friendly match.   It was equally as close as the away match was, a few weeks ago.

SAFC Foil B-team did really well, winning 6-3.  There was at least 1 win for Dan and Sam, with Chris getting involved too on the foil A-team: so lots of newbies getting action!  SAFC Foil A-team had a tough run, losing 9-0.

Tom (Hitchin) takes on Alex (SAFC)

Epee was a close 4-4 until the last match with Ben taking the win making it SAFC 4 – 5 Hitchin.

John (SAFC) takes on Ben (Hitchin)

Final score was SAFC 10-17 Hitchin.   We look forward to the decider match soon

Well done to all those that competed, it was great to see new fencers on the team!!!

 

THE G.F.B.O: GREAT FENCING BAKE OFF

The GFBO is back for 2021!!!!!!!!!!  (assuming COVID doesn’t intervene in the meantime)

23.Dec is our final night’s fencing of the year, so we’ll finish fencing half an hour or so earlier, for a social up to 22.30ish.

Fencers are invited to submit a home-made bake of any choice for sharing (and judging, if you wish).  Eternal fame and glory awaits.

Engarde…. Ready….. Bake!

See you on the piste!  SAFC
