Hi all,

We are down to the top 8 Newbie Foil fencers in the Foil Competition. These fencers will fence the remainder of the tournament on Saturday.

Newbie Trophy Foil tournament details (and top 8 fencers) can be found here:

The pools have been set for the Sabre Newbie fencers. Please check here for the tournament details:

Matches are starting at 8:30am sharp – please aim to arrive around 30 minutes earlier than start time to warm up and prepare for your bouts.

Please ensure you are wearing correct sport uniform (the same as for training – including long pants) and bring your fencing gear.

We also recommend you bring a water bottle and a snack to help you stay hydrated and energy levels up to last you through all your matches.

As per DEC policy, parents are unfortunately not permitted to attend the venue and are advised to drop off and pick up their sons only. We plan to wrap up the session by 12:30pm at the latest – students are able to leave earlier if they are eliminated and have arranged for you to pick them up.

We are looking into ways to live stream the event and will keep you posted on progress. At the very least, you can keep track of results with live updates on the Challonge links above.

Please contact Mr Huynh if there are any questions or issues.
All the best to our Newbie Foil and Sabre fencers this Saturday!

Cheers,
Mr Dat Huynh

Hi all,

Our SBHS Newbie Trophy Competition is kicking off this week during the training sessions, with finals playing out this Saturday 05/09/2020 (from 8:30am to 12:30pm) for the Sabre and Foil Newbie fencers. To help keep our numbers and space manageable for social distancing, our Newbie Epee fencers are completing their competition during training time this week and will not be required to attend on Saturday.

Our coaches are conducting the preliminary rounds during training and will provide an update on results via Challonge and/or other tournament tracking websites.

For those who would like to keep track of the Newbie Foil competition, please follow the link below for tournament information:

Details for Saturday will be posted after the last training session this Thursday once we get through the preliminary rounds.

Stay tuned for updates.

Cheers,
Mr Dat Huynh
