Lavradio 2019 - 2020

Our penultimate meeting of the 2019-20 season saw a good number of us convene at the Lansdowne Club yesterday, for the rescheduled Lavradio Cup.  

We ran a pool unique which was comprised of Phil Barbasiewicz, Steve Bateman, Tony Bowran, Rob and Sue Brooks, Anton Pollard, myself, and then Laurie Laschetti and Neal Skinner of the Lansdowne. We were also joined by John Glasswell and Steve Lennox.  

With 9 fencers we limited fight to 3 hits in 2 minutes and rattled through the pool relatively quickly, after which Steve, Tony and myself were left with 1 defeat apiece.  

The ensuing three-way barrage was closely fought and left me with the trophy, before 8 of us then decamped to the nearby Market Tavern for a convivial meal.
