A woo and two hoos! - 21 Nov 11

What a fantastic weekend! We had six fencers in four different events at the tournament in Richmond. Morgan started things off with a bang, taking a strong sixth in Saturday's saber. Alex and Raegan kept the ball rolling with their first-ever tournament appearances in the Y12 foil, looking like pros and doing us proud. On Sunday, Scott took third in the C and under foil, followed by Shane and Mark wrapping the weekend up in style in the novice foil. It was Mark's first-ever tournament outing and he very nearly pulled off the upset in his first elimination round! Shane brought the weekend to a grand close with an equally close elimination match of his own, finishing in third. Congratulations, everyone! Full results can be seen here and video will hopefully be hitting our YouTube channel over Thanksgiving. If you have photos or video of your own you'd like to share, feel free to upload it to either club's Facebook page (IWFC, PFC) or to send it to me to be posted.
