Dacorum fencers made a confidence boosting start to the Herts Novice League this week.
On Monday night (3rd December) they had a 45-24 win over an inexperienced University of Hertfordshire team.
Guy Miscampbell, Jack Parsons and Connor Sutton, two of whom were fencing in their first competitive match, started well and took a large e
arly lead. The University fencers fought back well in the middle stages of the match, but in the end the initial lead proved to be too great to overcome.
Our thanks go to University of Hertfordshire Fencing Club for organising the evening and for making us so welcome.
The Herts Novice Foil League is a competition arranged amongst local fencing clubs to give novice fencers (those with less than 2 years fencing experience) the opportunity to fence competitively. This was the first competitive match for Jack and Connor, both of whom began fencing with our junior club just last year.
Dacorum Fencing meet at Hemel Hempstead School, Heath Lane, Hemel Hempstead and offer regular beginners' classes for both adults and juniors who wish to try their hand at fencing. Places are still available for courses starting in the New Year.
