Frisby Fencers ran the East Midlands Senior 6 Weapon Championships at the Samworth Academy in Mansfield on Sunday 19th May. This is an annual competition with entries from clubs all over the East Midlands (Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Northamptonshire). There was a very high standard of competitors with over 70 entrants from 16 clubs across the competition.

Frisby had fencers in the Men’s and Women’s Epee Championships and the Women’s Sabre. The Men’s Epee Trophy was first handed out in 1971 to Malcolm Allton (a long standing member of Frisby Fencers, who is still competing and is also an International referee.) Owen Jordan won the Men’s Epee Championships and Darryl Hazlewood took silver [pictured above]. This was an excellent result [link below] for both the individuals and the club. There were 23 entrants in the Men’s Epee competition altogether. Malcolm finished 7th and Joshua Myers was 9th. Sylvia Brown came 9th in the Women’s Epee and took bronze in the Women’s Sabre. For Owen this completes a hat-trick of victories in East Midlands Competitions this year. It should be noted that he is also only 14 and this was the Men’s Senior Championships. He competed against much older and more experienced fencers!

EAST MIDLANDS SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS Entry Form 2013 v2

Great weekend for Frisby’s young fencers at the British Youth Championships Finals in Sheffield. Owen came 3rd in the under 16s. Matt was 5th and Josh 10th in the under 18s. Owen’s result was the highest for any East Midland’s fencer in any age group or weapon class. Owen lost to the eventual winner Oliver Steed. To say we are proud is an understatement.

Congratulations Chris, recently departed Frisby for the West Midlands, has just announced he is engaged. Best wishes to you both from all at the club.
Ever thought of a fencing themed wedding? You can have a guard of honor with our blades held high in salute as you walk down the aisle? Or You could both wear white.
Good luck and congratulations.

For your information there will be no fencing on the bank holiday Monday. Fencing will resume as normal on Monday the 8th.

Enjoy the long weekend.

I need to apologise to anyone who may have come to the site recently and seen a glut of inappropriate comments posted on some of the static pages.

The main reason this occurs is that a site will abuse comments fields to post links to their own websites. This has the effect of improving the referential links to those sites when search engines like Google run their ranking algorithms.

In order to rectify this issue I have removed the comments function from the static pages and have purged the database of all commets.

My apologies to any people who sent genuine comments to the site. If you would like to contact frisby for any reason then please use the contacts page.
