After some solid fencing in the poules, the business end of the day proved tough. In the first semi-final, Arash Karpour proved too strong for Anthony De Rosa, who did well to make top 4 in his first club open competition, capitulating to Arash 15-9. The next semi-final was an all French affair, with visiting club foilist Victor Touron dispatching our local foil femme, Tiphaine Hadacek to set up a meeting with Arash in the final.

Anthony put on another strong display in the Bronze medal match, finally finding Tiph too strong in the second period 15-10. More...

There was a solid field from a relatively new sabre club, with 9 of the total 11 sabreurs being from UNSW FC.

Also Ben Kovar racking up a victory in his first ever sabre tournament, with minimal preparation.
