ACT Fencing proudly welcomes it’s new U15 ACT Fencing Team, the ACT Gryphons. Currently comprised of 15 fencers from the ACT, this new team aims to provide older ACT Mozzies (U13), ex ACT Mozzies and U15 fencers with more fencing opportunities in a team environment.
The name for the team, Gryphons was suggested by a member of the team and agreed to by the team members. The Gryphon is a mythical creature with the body, tail and back legs of a lion and the head, wings and talons of an eagle. It represents courage, speed, and strength, all very useful attributes for fencing.
Members of the team will be heading off to Sydney on Sunday 18th May to compete in the NSW State U15 Championships. ACT Fencing wishes them all the best.
