Prof. Duffy Memorial Team Epee 2018
What a great first team event for our young epee girls !

On Sunday the 28th January 2018 our young epee ladies went into their first team competition at Trinity Sports Center Dublin, hosted by Dublin UFC :
The international Prof. Duffy Memorial Team Epee 2018.

Holly Tailor, Saoirse Moore and Hannah Taylor (left to right) formed a great team.

Tactics before each team match : Bringing the starting list into the optimum order is part of the fun....

Hannah Taylor (right) placing a nice hit.

Holly Taylor (right) answers a fleché from her Hungarian opponent with octave parry and riposte on the leg.

In a good team there is always a helping hand ...

What a situation !

I can confirm : Such a day is pure pleasure for the coach as well.

Brendan McHugh had his first competition on this day.
Naoise Kellehen had here his first competition in Ireland (after two years experience in the US).
Rainer Bolte filled up the team -

and we all had our fun as well !
