In the National Inter-school Fencing Championships, held on 30th and 31st March, the HC Fencing team achieved remarkable results, clinching 4 individual medals in 6 events and the champion team title in the Men’s Sabre event.
Despite this being only the 2nd year of our existence, the HC fencing team has been dedicated and hardworking in our quest for glory. We faced fierce competition from national fencers and other experienced fencers from rival schools, but managed to emerge the eventual champion in the Men’s Sabre event, ousting traditional Sabre powerhouse RJC, to clinch the champion team award by a margin of 6 points.
