Attention Sabre Squad Fencers:

Due to a recently informed circumstance, we are unable to field a full team for Senior Sabre Team B at the NSWFA School Team events. As we are unable to resolve this issue in such short notice, all Senior Sabre Team B matches will be forfeited.

In consultation with Coach Garry, remaining affected members of the team have been reallocated to the other Sabre teams and are expected to attend as per usual.

For updated team compositions, please check:

Please contact Mr Huynh if there are any issues or questions.

I was recently made aware this afternoon that SAC have conflicting scheduling with a Cadet camp on our original date of 19/06/2021 for the Foil Team Premiership fixture that would lead to insufficient fencers and forfeiture of team matches on that date.

As a result and in consultation with SAC, we are moving the SBHS vs SAC match to this Saturday 22/05/2021 so that we can complete our fixtures.

The SBHS vs SICR match is still going ahead on the 19/06/2021 and will be supplemented with friendlies with other League schools in the other match time slots on the day.

Details for SBHS v SAC Foil Team Premiership match this Saturday 22/05/2021:

Time: 9am start (Be there by 8:30am) – estimate time to finish 11:30am

Venue: SBHS COLA

Please stay tuned for updates and contact Mr Huynh if there are any issues or concerns.
