Day 3!
All the NSW Fencers participated in a National Training
Competition's with the HK fencers. These competitions
are part of specific training that all weapons in the National
Team do weekly so that the National and Assistant coaches
can assess the fencers development in a competition environment.
The Foilist competed with Cadet, Junior / Senior team, several
of whom are preparing for World Cups and the upcoming U/23 Asian Championships.
The Sabreur's had a fantastic opportunity to compete against not
on several U/15 fencers, but mainly cadets who are all trying for
places on the National Team and had been invited by the National coach
to specifically fence with our fencers and also that they could be
viewed and assessed by the National Coaches.
The boys field was roughly 20 and the girls field was 5.
(The girls field were all cadets).

the HK fencers were there to seriously compete, so this was essentially
as real and good as it gets!
