Fencing Club

CAPTURE THE FLAG!!!

Due to the fact that our fencing club has quite a few more experienced fencers, I decided it was time to see if they could put their technical skills to the test in a more tactical situation.

We split into 2 teams. The aim of the game was to capture the opposition teams sword and return it to their own base without being hit on the way there or the way back. It led to a very fast and furious game with plenty of good technique shown, although as it went on a few people decided that swinging their sword around was a safe idea. They quickly learnt otherwise!

The provisional date for the fencing competition will be Wednesday 10th June. There will be a year 3/4 competition and a year 5/6 competition with the prizes being wooden swords with inscriptions on them for the winners.

Keep practising hard!
