CFC10 is on the Way

The Commonwealth Fencing Championships, and the Commonwealth Veteran Fencing Championships 2010 will be conducted in Melbourne, Victoria from 29 September to 5 October 2010.

The Australian Fencing Federation and Fencing Victoria will be hosting the Open Commonwealth Fencing Championships & the Commonwealth Veteran Championships concurrently. This is the first time that the events have been held together and it offers a unique opportunity for all the senior fencers of the Commonwealth to meet together in competition and celebration.

The event will be held at the home of Fencing Victoria in the dedicated facility, the State Fencing Centre, 204-206 Arden Street, North Melbourne.

This is not only a great chance to represent Australia at Senior or Vets level but more than that an exciting opportunity to work on a major Australian sporting event.

Manila - Cadet Team Results Print E-mail

All three Australian teams fenced to form in the Asian Junior and Cadet Fencing Championships in Manila.

On Monday, the Boy's Foil team took out India in the round of 16, but could not match the top seeds, Japan, in the quarter final.

Today, it was the turn of the Boy's Epee team and the Girl's Foil team.  The boys were convincing winners over the Philippines.  The boys really put the pressure on the Japanese in the last eight, but once the Japanese got their noses in front, the Aussie boys couldn't find the answer.

The girls made very easy work of the Indian team in the round of 16, which meant they faced the Philippines in the top 8.  Unfortunately, our girls could not overcome the home team.

Today marks the end of the Cadet competition, the Junior (U20) competition commencing with Men's Foil and Women's Epee tomorrow.

Third Cadet Finalist Print E-mail

The third day of competition in Manila saw yet another TOP 8 performance by an Australian athlete.  After the pools, our three Cadet Girl's Foilists were seeded 6th (Cathering Tierney), 15th (Lishan Sung) and 18th (Emily Marotta).  Unfortunately, this meant that Emily and Lishan met in their 32 bout.

Lishan won what was a tough bout and then went on to beat the second-seeded girl from Hong Kong convincingly.  Lishan was then beaten by a Japanese girl, but performed well.  Catherine lost another close bout 15-14 in the round of 32.

In the Cadet Boy's Sabre, Sam Liao promoted to the round of 32 seeded 28th.  Although only marginally behind at the break, Sam could not defeat the 5th seed.

The Cadet Boy's Foil Team competes tomorrow.  They are seeded 8th and begin the morning by fencing India.

Manila - Day Two Print E-mail

The second day of competition has provided mixed results for the Australian Cadet Team in Manila.

The day's highlight has to be a TOP 8 result by Roy Groncki in the Cadet Boy's Epee.  Roy was seeded 6th after the pools having won all but one bout.  In the round of 32, Roy's bout was a very tough match against an unconventional opponent and he managed a very narrow victory.  In the round of 16, against a much higher seed, Roy made much easier work of his bout.  The quarter final saw Roy defeated by a fencer from Kazakhstan.

Unfortunately, none of the other boys promoted to the direct elimination.  Michael Dzodzos scored 1 victory, Henry Mayall-Vandervelde 1 victory and Phillip Todd no victories in the round of pools.

In the Cadet Girl's Sabre, Catherine Tierney won all but one bout in the pools.  She was seeded 7th going into the direct elimination round.  Catherine led by a comfortable margin at the break, but the bout was taken by her Iranian opponent 15-14.

Tomorrow sees the Cadet Girl's Foil and Cadet Boy's Sabre.
