Trinity’s fencers enjoyed their usual success at this year’s Irish Open, achieving excellent results in all weapons and taking home four medals.
On Saturday, DUFC epeeist and pentathlete Tal Coyle’s athleticism and skill made taking the gold medal and becoming Irish Champion look easy; meanwhile, Anna Smith was once again named Irish Champion in women’s foil after tough matches against UCD’s Joana Ramalho in the semi-final and Germany’s Linda Schutlze in the final.
The Men’s Epee satellite, also held on the Saturday, was stronger than it has been in many years, with the gold medal going to Poland’s Radoslaw Zawrotniak, team silver medallist at the Beijing Olympic Games. Despite this tough field, DUFC’s epeeists, Rory Greenan and Colm Flynn, acquitted themselves well, with Rory making a personal best result and Colm coming within three points of his first Satellite DE win, losing to Sweden’s Mattias Voigt 15-12 after three periods of intense fencing.
On Sunday, DUFC’s successes continued, with both Ned Mitchell and Declan Gibbons reaching the semi-final in men’s foil before being eliminated by Conor Nagle and Peter Brown respectively in well-fought bouts. Sabreur Jack McHugh managed to overturn an 8-2 deficit in the quarterfinal of the men’s event but was unable to complete his comeback and lost 15-12 to France’s Jean Charles Cadoret and finished 5th in a strong field.
In the women’s event, both Helen Naddy and Liz Fitzgerald also battled back from tough first periods in their quarter-final matches against Aoife O’Loughlin and Alex Lolies respectively but were defeated, finishing 6th and 7th overall. Congratulations also to Li Dong, who finished 14th in the Men’s Foil, Geraldine Davies for her 15th place finish in the Women’s Foil, and to Conor Traynor for his 27th place Men’s Foil finish in his first open event.
