The team fought one pool in each of foil and epée winning them 10-6 and 11-5 respectively. It is hoped to be able to invite a team from Newbury to a return fixture in Salisbury next season.

Chairman's Match Report

An excellent evening of fencing was carried out with many participants from both clubs able to fence competitively due to the number of Espada F.C. members who made the journey to us. Salisbury members do appreciate Espada continuing what has become an annual fixture to make our Christmas festivities so memorable.

A big vote of thanks must also go to all Salisbury's fencers and parents who contributed to our buffet which was a perfect finale to our final Monday evening of this autumn term. A very happy Christmas and best wishes for the new year.
