LAST THURS: 21.11
We hosted Bedford for our penultimate Three Counties League match of the year.
Match report from Team Captain Richard R:
Great fights vs Bedford tonight. Massive shout out to the team: Dan, Lisa, JD, James B, David and myself. Bedford have consistently been top two in this league for a few years now and brought a solid team. This set us up for a good scrap!
Or foilists went first and fought well but finished 4-5 loss, with a couple of fights on a knife edge it could have gone either way.
Our epeeists had some brilliant exchanges, and one of the opponents was a former SAFC club member which made it interesting! We each won a fight in the end, meaning Bedford won 6-3, and won the night 12-7 overall.
St Albans did pick up a bonus point along the way for our efforts, which should help to keep us 3rd in the league. We have just one match to go in 2 weeks time vs MK (who are stalling at our heels for 3rd place)!
NEXT THURS. 05.12: We host MK for our final match of the year. Good luck SAFC!

BF REMINDER ABOUT KIT AND CONDUCTÂ Â
Every fencer is responsible for ensuring that their personal equipment is in a safe condition (cf. Rules for Competitions t.20.1). Every fencer also has a duty of care to each of their opponents. In particular this involves fencing in a way that is safe, avoiding hurtful, violent and dangerous actions (cf. also Rules for Competitions t.121.2) and taking action if they see any potentially dangerous situation. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of every official and coach to ensure that fencers respect this obligation
