"Given the early start  required to make the ferry I was expecting to be a bit sluggish and on poor form. And I was right... at first. I squeaked through my first few pool matches without really fencing very well - got narrow victories where I should have had wide victories, that sort of thing; but I was getting the victories and ultimately only dropped one of the 6 bouts.

I seeded 13th out of 81. That gave me a bye so there was a bit of a wait before my first DE. It was against a guy from the Isle who I'd fenced before, Tim Keyte. We traded points for a while, until the start of the second period. He pulled away to lead 10-8, but I dug deep and scored the next 7 points for the win. 

The next match was Gerry Simpson.  I was expecting a tough one and I wasn't disappointed. He got off to an early lead and for a while it was all I could do to prevent him extending his lead further. Eventually I started to find my rhythm and managed to catch him up. Finally with the scores levelled at 13-all, I scored once... then again, to take the bout. Another very tough match. 

Next up, in the last 16 now, was Darryl Hazelwood, a friend from many previous competitions. The match started poorly for me: he was just keeping his point in line with my hand and I was obligingly thrusting my hand onto it. He opened up quite a lead before I started to close off those openings and pull back some points. I started to put the pressure on and take the fight to him and clawed my way back into the match. Eventually we reached 14-13, with me in front. There were a few tense exchanges, then he scored the next hit for 14-all. A few more exchanges and the light came up... for him. :-( It was a match I lost due to unforced errors at the start. Very frustrating. I've resolved not to let that happen again."
