ACT Fencing’s new team: the U15 ACT Gryphons, had their first outing as a team at the NSW U15 State Championships last weekend in Sydney. Most of the team started as ACT U13 Mozzies before graduating to Gryphons this year. Congratulations to Genevieve and Jordan on their Bronze medals in the epee, and thankyou to Nigel, Chris and James for coaching. A special thankyou to Gordon for driving the bus there and back. ACT Fencing has made a lot of progress over the last decade in these Junior ranks: 10 years ago almost no U15s travelled interstate for comps, 5 years ago it was perhaps 1-2 U15s. This year we had fencers in all three weapons in boys and girls categories.
