28.04.22: Competition update & Monday night news!

There’s been a lot of competition in the last week!

Starting with last week’s Three Counties League match – we hosted Watford.

SAFC team from L to R: Kevanne, Bryant, Philip (hiding), Daniel R, Gemma & Richard R (c)

Watford’s foil team was strong taking an 8-1 win, although that doesn’t reflect the true picture.  SAFC foil team (Gemma, Daniel & Philip) were a whisker away from winning a number of other foil bouts, but were lost on a single point.  Argh!

Perhaps the foil had tired them out because the epee was a different story – a strong performance from SAFC Epee (Kevanne, Richard R (c) & Bryant) with a 7-2 win.

Unfortunately, that gave Watford the overall win… by just one bout.  So close!

Our next match is away at Hitchin on Tues.3rd May

HFA CHAMPIONSHIPS
