2009 Oceania Seniors Championships

New Caledonia has advised that it will host these Championships in Noumea from 17th to 19th September.

The AFF recommends this tournament to all those wanting to take a step up from national level competition to experience competing for Australia as part of an Australian Team at an international tournament in an overseas country. It is a good competition in which to make the transition to international competition as it will be held in a nearby country that is a tropical island paradise with a French cultural influence. Senior, veterans and older young (17 years +) fencers will find this a worthwhile and enjoyable competition experience.

There is no limit on the number of fencers able to compete in the individual events. Team events will also be held. Following is the advised competition timetable:

Thursday 17 September
Men’s Sabre, Women’s Sabre
Team events will follow individual finals.

Friday 18 September
Men’s Foil, Women’s Foil
Team events will follow individual finals.

Saturday 19 September
Men’s Epee, Women’s Epee
Team events will follow individual finals.

Further information can be found on the AFF website.
