Fencing

Fencing

The main opposition in both the men and women's fields, is expected to be provided by Auckland and Otago.

Fencing was for many years in the doldrums at Vic, but recently there has been a resurgence.

Vic, on paper, has two very strong teams this year.

The men's team includes G. Stratigopolous who is the national epee champion and J. Loh and O. Davies who made the NZU team last year.

The women's side includes Greta Firth who was the 1967 NZU captain and Wendy Fletcher who was a reserve in the NZU team.

The teams are:

Women: Vivian McLean, Greta Firth, Wendy Fletcher, Susan Norris and Barbara Lawn (reserve).

Men: G. Stratigopolous (all weapons); O. Davies (all weapons); J Loh (Sabre and foil); D. Flaws (epee and sabre); R. Clarke (epee); R. Hayman (foil).

Leading the Otago team is Peter Ring, a NZU rep in Australia and an Olympic trialist.

J. Gaudin from Auckland was also a NZU rep in Australia.

Otago appears to be the strongest team in the women's section.

Venue: Winter Show Buildings, John St.
