Federation Cup preview

Ok,
For those that don't know about these things, the fencing "season" in Ireland is between September and April/May and we take a break for the summer. This is mostly because the summer heat makes competing in all the gear quite hot and unpleasant.

However this year for some reason the Federation Cup, a foil tournament, is being held next weekend. UCD Fencing Club are hosting it. It is for this competition that my training over the last few weeks has been aimed.

Due mostly to my absence from the sport my ranking in Ireland in foil is currently 20th my aim (by this time this year) is to bring it down to 4th.

It starts this weekend.
