Fencing: Competition organised between the Viking, San Pedro, and Puerto Santa Maria clubs

The local fencing club have organised a fencing competition with the Clubs of Puerto Santamaria and San Pedro de Alcantara on Saturday.

The competition which will be held from 2pm at the Old Victoria Stadium promises to be of a very high standard since the visiting clubs have some of the best fencers in South Spain, including the Ukranian Master Ihor Hornyak, Ukranian and World Champion foilist.

There will be foil and epee bouts with male and female fencers.Last weekend the Gibraltar club travelled to San Pedro for a friendly competition achieving excellent results against tough opposition. At foil, local master Paul Holder was narrowly beaten by Master Igor Hornyak and came 2nd and Philip Heath 4th, whilst at Epee, Paul Holder stormed through the competition to win, with Master Hornyak coming 2nd and fencing newcomer David Oliva coming 3rd.

The general public is very welcome to attend Saturday’s competition.

Results of competition held on the 13th May to follow. The competition was held between the Club de Esgrima San Pedro and the Gibraltar Viking Fencing Club. (pictured)
