RAF Fencing Results

Full match reports, plus detailed listings of all results achieved by both teams and individuals, are produced upon completion of an event. These results and match reports assist the selection committee in monitoring the progress of fencers throughout a season prior to selection for the Inter Services squad.

Command Championships

Nominally held on the 1st weekend in February at RAF Cosford, each Command holds a separate competition to determine their Champions. This is then followed by an Inter Command competition at all 3 weapons to determine who is the best Command.

Quadrangular Matches

As part of the RAF team selection process, the RAF compete in Quadrangular Matches throughout the year to ascertain team performance in preparation for the Inter Service Championships. Team events are also useful in providing Junior RAF fencers with experience to bring them up to standard for the full RAF team, ensuring the future competitiveness of the squad.

Inter Services

The premier event in the fencing calendar,this week long event always brings excitement. In addition to the Inter Service Triangular match, pitting RAF, RN and Army teams against each other, the individual events pit the top 12 fencers in each weapon from each Service against each other to determine the Combined Service champions.

One Hit Epee

Many competitions rolled into one, the One Hit epee has individual (mens and ladies), scratch team and Inter Unit titles to offer. If that isn't enough, the International Military event also takes place pitting RAF, Army, RN, Veterans (and in previous years Met Police and Civil Service) against each other in a rolling 45 event which always proves to be extremely close.

Junior Championships

The Junior Championships exclude any fencer who has received their RAF Blues or won the Junior Master-at-Arms title in the past. This provides the Junior fencers with a chance to demonstrate their abilities without having to face the RAF "big guns", and always leads to an exciting competition, with the Master-at-Arms elevated to Senior status.

Occasionally the RAF are invited to compete at other events throughout the season. These events can differ in format immensely from the rolling-45 hit match normally associated with team competitions.
