The Oxford Cup, 1973-74

Individual success again came to Stephen Winrow-Campbell in the school Dr. Slade sabre competition. The fencing was of a high standard and after a barrage with Michael Dixon, Stephen won with Michael runner-up.

Whilst on the subject of sabre, mention must be made of Tony Lop Bong, who is probably the most improved fencer of the year. When he joined the School in the winter he had not even heard of fencing; but due to his continual training he is now a regular member of the School sabre team ,and he has already been runner-up in the Yorkshire Schoolboys Sabre Championship.

The house matches were held this term. In these there was some very determined fencing—and the Manor team must be congratulated in put- I ting up such a good fight against their much more experienced opponents. Queen's narrowly beat Temple, with the Grove coming third.

For the opening of the Sports Centre by Councillor Jack Wood we held a match against the Old Boys. Their team included two former School captains (Mr. A. Morris and Mr. A. Wood), but we beat them convincingly. We were honoured to have Mrs. Wood unveil a framed document on the door of the armoury recording achievements of the fencing club.

At the end of the term colours were awarded for personal performance throughout the year. They were awarded for the first time to Michael Dixon and Stephen Winrow-Campbell, and were re-awarded to Martin Black and Alan Tait.

Finally we must congratulate Stephen Winrow-Campbell on being selected to fence in the Great Britain Catholic Schoolboys team at the International Summer Games, held in Malta this summer.
