Hi all,

We’ve had a busy start to the season with record number of returning fencers to our program. We welcome our newest fencers who are joining us for their first season.

Squad selection is ongoing this week as we conduct trials during the after school sessions. Thank you for your patience as we make changes and updates to the Clipboard schedule to accommodate the trials with limited coaching staff availability this coming Monday. We are aiming to have Squad selection finalised by the end of Thursday’s sports session.

The U16 Foil Friendly hosted at SAC on Saturday was a huge success – we used this event as a trial run for managing the upcoming competition fixtures next term (with thanks to Kevin Chen’s (’21) inaugural role as DT in training, under the valuable mentoring of Edwin Lapitan (SAC)). The event ran relatively smoothly with 35 fencers participating and 6 schools represented. Congratulations to our U16 Foil fencers who achieved outstanding results – highlights and shoutout to Jeremy Yan for placing 1st and Jentzen Lim for placing 2nd in the event. Full results can be found on the ‘Results’ page.

Regarding Fencing T-shirts – we are in the process of finalising the payment process as this item is organised by the Fencing Committee and not the High Store. Please do not contact the High Store to inquire about the Fencing shirt. We will post an update soon when the payment system is set up and ready for orders.

The Fencing Supporters Meeting will also be scheduled soon (aiming for 6pm Thursday in week 11) so please keep an eye out for updates during the week.

Thanks for your patience and support as we gear up for a busy season ahead. Please feel free to contact me if there are any issues or questions.

Best regards,
Dat Huynh
MIC Fencing
