Southern Region Triangular 25th April 2010

Well done all that took part from swindon.

 Swindon's U14 foil team, for coming 1st in the U14 Junior Team Final that was also fought on the day of the
Triangular.

Wiltshire Adults came 2nd in Epee, and 3rd in Foil.

Which isn't as bad as it seems as there was an amendment to the format this year: the Hants U18 Foil team (the only
U18 team that actually competed) joined the Senior event: it was 4 teams not 3. (So, arguably, we came 2nd in Foil, too...)

Well done to:
The Epeeists: Gerry Simpson, Akos Barkoczy, Heather Newman, Natalie
Thomas (all from Wessex Blades) and Richard Ongaro, from Swindon/RMCS Shrivenham.

The Foilists: Austin Rose, Mike Bradbury, Mark Vice, Chris Reynolds (allfrom Swindon),

and Laura borrowed from Reading University.

Well done, too (and many thanks) to Mike Bradbury for getting the teams together.
Despite the County Training Days and Alan's scheme to develop a County
fencing squad, it remained a difficult task; we're still a long way from
having a standing pool of County fencers who can be called upon for
these events. Every one is encouraged to join the training days.

Swindon vs. RAL 2009

 So there we were facing our enemy across the piste, eyeing each other warily. It was us or them. For many on both sides it would be their first competition. This is how the first Swindon vs. Rutherford Appleton Laboratories (RAL) fencing competition began. As was soon apparent to both sides it would become a friendly and well mannered encounter with each side fielding two mixed teams of three foilists, an A team and a B team. This designation was more to do with identification than any difference in ability.

It has been decided that the completion would be fought in a relay style with the individual fencers points building a cumulative total and therefore the first team to reach 45 points would be declared the winner. This way it gave everyone plenty of chance to prove themselves.

I was fencing for the Swindon A team, our first match started well against the RAL A team with some good natured banter, their team put up some good opposition with some good moves from both sides. Swindon A was victorious . 

Looking across to the other Piste, where Swindon B were putting up resistance to a strong RAL B team. Unfortunately for them their resistance was ineffective, with RAL B winning . 

After a brief pause with some more subtle investigation into the opposition from both sides, “how long have you been fencing?”, “how often do you fence?”, and other similar lines of questioning it was time to get physical again. 

The RAL teams had swapped Pistes to face the other Swindon teams. With the score one a piece there was still all to play for. With one of the Swindon B team having to retire early it left them on the back foot with a large deficit, but true to form they came back with pride to take the fight to RAL. Back on the Swindon A piste we were learning why the B team had faired badly against the RAL B team. They were putting up a strong fight with some hard fencing. We were going to have to start using tactics, the clock, and stamina to beat them as they were coming back well. With the Clock running out on the match the final score showed a win to Swindon A  and a decisive win to the RAL A team across the hall . 

Considering that this was the first competition for many of the fencers on both sides and the majority of us all fencing for less than two years the match proved to be a good run out for all. An enjoyable evening all-round and some good natured rivalry to carry forward to the next meeting of blades.
