Eastern Cape Open (1-2 October)We participated in the Second Easten Cape Open, a national ranking competition that took place in Port Elizabeth. Despite the student strikes that forced a last minute change in venue, the event was a great success. Our fencers were doing fine but didn't make it to the finals. (Sorry, no pictures.) |

National Junior Championships (6-7 February)Four Nemato fencers qualified for the National Junior Championships in Cape Town. On the way up we spent time at the Bay West Mall in Port Elizabeth and the Science and Technology Centre in Uitenhage. We slept over in Wilderness, before driving through to Cape Town. On Saturday we did some nice fencing, with one of our guys making the finals. For sun set we went to Signal Hill. It was completely blocked by cars, but nobody bothered, it was a happy chaos, with nice evening views over Cape Town and the ocean. The competition was over two days, but unfortunately our guys didn't want to sleep on Saturday night, so we cut the trip short and drove back that night. |
