Hawkes Bay Blades were planning on running the Central Opens tournament on 10th and 11th October this year. However, given the ever changing situation we find ourselves in with COVID-19 Alert Levels, it has been decided to cancel the event this year. It is with regret that we make this decision and we look forward to running this tournament next year.

NZ Secondary School Championships – Cancelled

It is with extreme regret that following today’s government announcement that the country will remain in Level 2 until Sunday 6th September, Fencing New Zealand must announce the NZ Secondary Schools’ Championship in Christchurch will not go ahead as scheduled.

The Fencing NZ Covid Committee continue to monitor the situation and will meet again in the next few weeks to determine whether the tournament can be rescheduled and how we will proceed with any remaining National Events this year.
