The Oxford Cup, 1975-76

The Public Schoolboys Championships brought the best out of us all. Stephen Winrow-Campbell fenced very consistently (again) on all three days to reach these semifinals in all three weapons. He narrowly missed the final in the epée, going out on indicators. Andrew Johnson reached the semifinal of the foil, also going out on indicators. Alan Tait came sixth in the senior foil competition. Gordon Tait won the junior foil competition. Again this was the best ever result by a member of the School. As a result of the efforts of everybody in the team we won the Pearson Cup. This trophy is awarded each year to the team with the best overall results. Again this was a best ever for the School team.

The summer term brought the Pocklington Team Trophy back to the School for the second time in the two years the competition has been running.

We had several good individual results with Gordon Tait fencing for England Schools against Scotland and Wales in Edinburgh. He won all but one of his fights. Stephen Winrow-Campbell came second in the Yorkshire Senior Foil and third in the National Men's Novices competition. Also Alan Tait was recently selected to go to Israel as a member of the British U.18 foil team.

I would like to thank Mr. Power for all his time and effort, which made this a most successful and enjoyable season.

Colours awarded to G. W. Tait.
