The women's foil event was held on the Saturday and 5 SU fencers took part: Alex Atkinson, Charlie Beimers, Izzy Evans, Angharad King and Victoria Morris. The men's foil event was on the Sunday and had 2 SU fencers competing: Keir Murray and Alexander Penny. In the poule stage of the women’s foil event on the Saturday all 5 SU girls fenced well, Alex Atkinson putting in an especially strong performance to win 9 of her 10 fights, placing her as no.2 seed going into the knock-out stage. Alex, Victoria and Izzy all made it through to the quarter-finals, with Alex winning there to make it into the semis, where she lost a tough fight to finish 3rd. Victoria and Izzy were 5th and 6th, Angharad and Charlie 9th and 10th. In the men’s foil on the Sunday Alexander Penny won 6 from 10 fights in the poule stage, while Keir won 3, placing them 9th and 13th in the seeding for the knock-out stage. Both had byes into the last 16 where Keir had a tough fight, going out to the no.4 seed to finish 13th, while Alexander beat the no.8 seed 15-13 in a close fight after being 11-13 down. Alexander then met and lost to the no.1 seed in the quarter-finals to finish a creditable 8th. This was an excellent turn-out of SU fencers in the first senior N Ireland fencing competition since the arrival of Covid-19, with strong performances given by all seven. The next event for SUFC fencers will be for U12s, U14s and U16s at Round 2 of the NI Junior Foil Series on 11th December. For those 16 and over the next event will be the Northern Ireland Open 29th and 30th January. David White SUFC Coach 24 Nov 2021 SUFC fencing report 2021 N Ireland Junior Foil Series Round 1 Last Sunday 7th November saw the return of competitive fencing to N Ireland with Round 1 of the 2021/2022 N Ireland Junior Foil Series, held at Hunterhouse College in South Belfast. Six Sullivan Upper Fencing Club junior members attended: Noah Currie, Finn Neely, Alexandra Ong, Amelia Penny, Sam Snoddy, and Myles Wilkinson. U16s In the U16 Boys, Finn Neely won all his poule fights to take the no.1 seed position for the knock-out stage. He then won through to the final where he was narrowly beaten 10-9 in a tie break. Alexandra Ong made the semis in the girls’ U16s, but lost, finishing with the bronze medal. U14s Amelia Penny won 4 fights from 5 in her poule, placing her 2nd in the seedings for the U14 Girls’ knock-out stage. She ended up facing the no.1 seed in the final where she took silver in a tough fight against the top U14 from Dublin. After the poule stage in the U14 Boys’ event Noah Currie was seeded 2nd and Myles Wilkinson 3rd. Unfortunately the 2 SU fencers met in the semis, with Noah going through to the final and Myles taking the bronze medal. Noah then defeated the no.1 seed in the final with a convincing 15-7 win. U12s Year 8 Sam Snoddy won all his poule fights and took the top seed position for the knock-out stage. He then had a tough route through to take the U12 Boys’gold medal, winning both semi-final and final by one point 10-9. These are excellent results for our SU fencers, with a total of 2 gold, 2 silver and 2 bronze medals. Well done all six, and bad luck Charlie Beimers for missing out due to Covid!
