Richard Emmerick Shield – round 02

Saturday 17 September was Round 02 of our Club comp, the Richard Emmerick shield – a great day of fierce and friendly competition in foil, epee and sabre! 

To promote participation, connections and learning, this year we’ve opened all three rounds of the Richard Emmerick Shield to fencers from other clubs, and it was great to have Eddie from Maitland PCYC come up and compete!

View the comp results.

A reminder that Round 03 is coming up on 10 December – details and registration at www.mfc.org.au!

Thanks to support from our State MP Trish Doyle with an Office of Sport Local Grant in 2021, we’ve been able to run our comps, training sessions, and special community events, using the state of the art scoring equipment which the grant provided – streamlining scoring, timing and refereeing, and giving fencers experience with the systems they'll encounter in higher level comps. 

Thanks to support from Katoomba and Upper Blue Mountains Community Bendigo Bank Branch this year, we’ve been able to buy a laptop to run the competition software Fencing Time, giving fencers a high-quality competition  experience and also allowing members to learn the software and expand their skills.
