Another weekend full of success

Monday, April 20th, 2015

We saw more success for the club in a weekend where fencers were competing at the British National Championships (individuals and teams) and the Veterans 4 Nations team event.

British National Championships Individuals

Only two fencers entered the individual event on the Saturday, making their way to Sheffield to compete.

Men’s Foil (50 entries)

After the poules Christopher was seeded 28th, finishing V3D3 in a tough competition. In the last 64 he drew Ben Priestley from Team Melia, who he went on to beat 15-11 to make the last 32.  His next opponent was British team member Ben Peggs, who he lost to 15-3.

Christopher Mollard – last 32

Women’s Foil (16 entries)

Oxana was in a slightly more difficult position, losing all 7 of her first round matches and being seeded 15th.  However, in the last 16 she pulled out a great performance to beat the #2 seed and British Number 6 15-13 to make the quarter finals.  There she drew Katie Smith from Edinburgh fencing club and went on to lose 15-3.

Mikhaleva – quarter finals (8th)

Eden Cup and Leon Paul Cup

Tuesday, January 13th, 2015

Two Saxon fencers took part in international tournaments this weekend: William Price in the Eden Cup (Junior World Cup) and Christopher Mollard in the Leon Paul Cup (Satellite).

Eden Cup

The Eden Cup is one of the selection events for the British Junior (Under 20s) team, and Saxon’s William Price earned his second GB cap by getting selected for this event along with 19 other British fencers.  He started strongly, beating the other British fencer in his poule but went on to lose the other 5 fights in his poule to finish V1D5.

After the poules William was seeded 99th but did not make the cut and so his day ended there.

Final placing: 99th of 115 fencers.

Leon Paul Cup

The Leon Paul Cup is one of five Men’s Foil Satellite events throughout the year but the one with the biggest entry.  Christopher Mollard was the only entry from Saxon and came out of his poule V2D3, an improved performance on his previous attempts at this competition.

After the poules he was seeded 99th of 142 fencers and made the cut, earning himself a last 128 fight against the Portuguese fencer Alvaro Noite.  A match which he lost 15-6.

Final placing: 100th of 142 fencers.

You can find the full results, including scores from the poules and the elimination tableau, here.

Well done to both of you!
