Intervarsities Part 5: Day Two - The Finale

Our hangovers couldn't hold us back in Men's Sabre and we finished out the weapon undefeated in the morning despite the best efforts of UCC who gave us a very good match. With men's sabre finished it was 2 weapons to 1 in our favour. The intervarsities however is always judged on total team victories so our superior performance in men's sabre might have given us breathing space of a couple of matches.

Despite the debut Irish appearence of a French top-20 epeeist for Trinity our girls took them very close but the pivotal match in Women's Epee went to Trinity. Our girls didn't drop any other matches however. A similar story in Men's Foil, the pivotal match was UCD Vs. Trinity but Trinity managed to get the upper hand in that match also.

UCD were always going to favourite in Women's Sabre and I helped warm them up for the event. In the end, UCD were undefeated in women's sabre destroying all in their wake.

Finally, after possibly the longest weekend of my life the Intervarsity was secured for UCD in the most closely fought 'varsities in years. This was UCD's 20th intervarsity victory and our seventh in a row.
