FENCING NOTES

Last term we had two school matches against St. John's College and Durham University. We won both and Colours were re-awarded to Wood and Benn and awarded to Lockwood.

Wood, C. A., entered the Liverpool Open Tournament and reached the semi-finals, having suffered only one defeat. However, he had to return to York before the finals. As a result he was chosen to fence for Yorkshire after a long absence from that team.

The York International Tournament came as a useful warm-up for the Public Schools Championships and in it both Benn and Wood reached the finals of the Sabre, with Wood reaching the Foil fmals and Benn the Epee finals.

The Public Schools Championships is the climax of the School's fencing and once again the 'School proved themselves one of the strongest in the country. Wood, C. A., was placed 2nd, after a barrage in the Senior Foil. In the Junior Foil Reaston reached the semi-finals and Miller, Bowen and Bleach the quarter-finals. Benn and Wood reached the quarter-finals of the Sabre.

We would like to thank Mr. Power for looking after the interests of the team in London.

As a result of his successes Wood, C. A., has been awarded his Gold Fencing Proficiency award.
