Thailand Open 2019

The Thailand Open Fencing Championships 2019 was held in Bangkok from the 9th of September to the 13th of September.

Huge congratulations go out to our very own Coach Samson who started strong and fought his hardest all the way into the finals and emerged victorious in the Men’s Épée Individual event!

In the Women’s Épée Team event, Coach Cheryl represented Team Singapore along with her teammates beat the main Thailand national team in the finals to get the gold!

This goes to show that our coaches uphold a high standard of fencing not only to their students but towards themselves as well!

Congratulations as well to our other brave SGF fencers that have taken part in this competition!

2019 Singapore Minime Fencing Championships 2

We had the Singapore Minime Fencing Championships 2 that was held from the 7th to 9th of September and our fencers came back with fantastic results.

In the Under 14 Boy’s Épée, we have Chiang Yee clinching the top spot while Zhan Ze Xian Jonas (GDL) got himself a bronze medal! Not to mention Julian Jace Choong (PRCS) and Zjien Ng Yee Sheng (GDL) finishing in the Top-8 in 5th and 7th positions respectively!

In the Under 14 Girls Epee, Choong Zi Cheng (GDL) earned a silver medal with respectable finishes from Ona Koning (PRCS), Dela Cruz Michaela Juliane Chua (PRCS) and Carol Lee Kai le (GDL) had a placing of 5th, 6th, and 8th respectively. This means that half of the Top-8 fencers are from SGF. Well-done!

The competition continues the next day where Poli Vittorio won a bronze medal and Jonas Lim Yet Thye finished 7th place in the Under 12 Boy's Epee Individual Event!

Ashley Mae Harrison fought hard all the way into the finals and came out victorious in the Under 12 Girl's Épée Event while Shen Yuehan achieved 5th place in the same event. Special mention goes to Liu Zihui Sophy who was our youngest fencer sent for this event!

In the Under 10 Girl's Epee Individual Event on 9th September, Liu Zihui Sophy earned herself a position in the top-8 despite being her first-ever competition. She showed so much bravery throughout and we cannot be more proud of her!

This competition is a good indicator of the progress that our fencers have made. Most of them have picked up the sport not too long ago and by achieving these results, it shows that they are well developing, and the other fencers have to look out for them in future competitions!

TFF Minime Thailand

On the 5th of September, some of our young warriors went over to Thailand to compete in the TFF Minime and came back with fantastic results!

In the Under 12 Boy's Épée, Jonas Lim Yet Thye fenced his way into the finals eventually winning himself a silver medal while teammate Vittorio Poli won bronze!

In the Under 12 Girls Épée, Ashley Mae Harrison displayed true resilience and determination and fenced all the way into the finals where she also won a silver medal!

What a fantastic showing from our young warriors where they displayed such maturity beyond their age when competing against international opponents. Our young fencers have trained hard these past few weeks and this is the fruit of their labour!

Congratulations! Keep up the good work!
