Bloody Fencing

Enthusiasts of the art of fencing or those who at heart still long to be Errol Flynns should find this year's fencing programme at the university level up to their expectations.

The N.Z.U. Fencing Council has invited an Australian Universities Fencing Team to tour New Zealand early in May in an attempt to regain the Whitmont Cup which Tony Ellis brought back from Australia in 1959. Matches of interest will be the match against Victoria University and New Zealand Universities, both of which (it is hoped) will be fought in the new gymnasium.

On top of this, Winter Tournament, the Provincial Teams Tournament. Wellington Championships, North Island Championships and Nationals should give all fencers and fencing enthusiasts an interesting year.
