Fenced
23 03 2007We (Oliver, Elliot, Alex, Hugh and I) attended the Public Schools’ Fencing Championships 2007 and did the junior sabre yesterday with some success (Adam Sriskandan, Nico Eisler and Josh Frankle did the senior sabre). It was fairly interesting despite the quirks of the public transport system and the dementedly fervent supporters at the competition. Mathieu displayed great competition experience, advising fencers not to argue and then attacking the referees until they made the correct decision. He also described a few people as “very, very stupid”, “not very thin” and “quite elephant”.
All in all, a good tournament! Unfortunately James Weedon and Chris Jones were unable to come.
The results for this year are here (the events our group participated in were the junior and senior sabre)

Grah… well done in coming 15th - you are the only one who outseeded himself. Good stuff.
lol - can you say “fluke”? Even Mathieu was surprised by my random and extreme changes in alertness and tactical activity.
