Club Matches
Vs Wimbledon, May 1998
This was a match where the next generation started to threaten the longer established fencers. David Rises of Wimbledon won two fights of three in the foil competition, loosing only to Simon Pearson in a hard-fought bout, while Meg Schofield of Guildford reciprocated with two wins of three in the Épée competition.
The foil was won by Wimbledon, by 6 bouts to 3.
The Épée was won by Guildford, by 5 bouts to 4.
The match secreatary tells me the result is therefore a draw.
GFC vs Reading, 17th March
This was a novice foil match, fenced at home. Unfortunately the visitors won.
GFC Juniors vs. Cranleigh Junior School
This match was fenced away on 28th February. Many thanks to Cranleigh for hosting the event. There were four teams of 3 fencers.
Electric foil: GFC won
Steam foil: result drawn.
Surrey Epée, 1 February 1998
