The Oxford Cup
from May 1973
by StPetersYork
Also, in the same month, the Yorkshire Junior Epée Championship was fought. Here, after extremely bad organisation, the event proved that our epee is comparatively strong. Both Paul Green and Simon Atkinson, struggling through two rounds, got to the semi-finals, and Martin Black with his usual aggression, reached the final and was placed fifth overall.
In March were held the festivities of St. Patrick's Day when teams from Trinity College, Dublin and Queen's University, Belfast arrived in York to fight against our city's fencing club. St. Peter's fought Trinity College before their important match in the Guildhall, and won convincingly at epee, five bouts to two and at sabre, 5-1. On the Sunday, Simon Atkinson and David Taylor fenced sabre in the Guildhall against Ireland in a match which was won by York's strong team.
The Inter-House competition, won by Temple, proved that fencing is still a force in the School and we should be pleased that Ampleforth fencers come every Wednesday especially to fence at our School.
All our material success and enthusiasm this term must stand us in good stead for the Public Schools' Championships this year and we expect to do well. As always, all our efforts have been due to the indomitable force and personality of Mr. Power, who runs fencing in such a positive way at this School. TEAMS:
Foil /: Atkinson, Black, Hazell, Tait.
Foil 2: Langton, Dixon, Nendick.
Sabre: Atkinson, Black, Taylor, Winrow-Campbell.
Ep&: Hazell, Atkinson, Black, Green, D. Spencer, P. Spencer.
