Buccaneers Sabre Competitions
As part of our ‘End of the Month’ competitions on Wednesdays, we will also be running a sabre competition, this Wednesday. All local sabre fencers are welcome! We will be bringing back a very special trophy for this. This is the Sheffield and District Sabre trophy from 1939. So along with the names on it from the 40s and 50s, we can add new names now, every month. This trophy was given to me many years ago by the Sheffield coach and friend of mine Les Veale. Les was a great supporter of fencing in the area and also in the 80s and 90s played a major role in establishing and developing wheelchair fencing both in Britain and internationally.
