Fencing

The Team this year is made up of newcomers to tournament. The absence of club and NZU captain David Lind-Mitchell from this year's team will undoubtedly be felt, but in spite of the team's! comparative inexperience this year the team will not be a disgrace to Victoria.

This year's tournament team is Helen Schwartz (captain). M. Robbins (vice-captain), Sandra Wilson, Prudence Nield, C. Biggs, J. J. Loh, R. Clark, J. J. Raskindale and R. Abhakosn. All are newcomers except Helen and Sandra, both of whom toured Australia this year with the NZU team.

Greta Firth and C. Biggs have both gained national and provincial secondary school places, Abhakosn has fenced in England and like Loh is noted for speed and agility. Price, Nield, Clark and Raskindale will provide sound backing.

Certainly what is lacking in tournament experience will be largely made up by enthusiasm and vigorous determination. While not expecting to win this year against Auckland's very strong men's team, there are very good chances for a second place.
