Royal Courts Ladies and Gentlemen who could not attend this Tournament certainly missed a lot! I want to thank all fencers and the audience, who came from Venezia, Versailles, Spain and Coeur, and helped in making this event such a happy and enjoyable one!

Here are the results:

First Round :

1/Elisabeth Milneaux defeats Selina Vayandar, Contessa di Loredan (in a very close and talkative duel, but so funny, lively and skilled !)

2/ Joesf Fitzpatrick d. Marie-Therese ( Glendevon) , who was unlucky to have him -presently n 4 in the En Garde! World rankings- as an opponent in the first round)

3/ Maria Louisa Muircastle , Baronne de Coeur d. Bedrich Panacek, Duc de Cur

4/ Captain Paco Gothly, from the Spanish Court d. Hera Poliatevska( aka Sophie Dalville) formerly winner of the Orange-Nassau fencing Tournament.

5/Myron Byron, Conte di Loredan, d. Tatiana Dokuchic Varriale, Duchesse de Provence,( he scored the last touch at 4-4, so thrilling for the winner, so frustrating for the opponent!)

6/Myron Verne, Baron de Cur, is merciless and defeats his dear friend Dr Pekel Panacek, Baron de Touraine ( one more 5-4 score!)

Second round:

1/ MariaLouisa Muircastle d. Elisabeth Milneaux

2/ Joesf Fitzpatrick d. Myron Byron, one of the Venetian and Versailles stars of fencing

3/ Myron Verne d. Paco Gothly (One more last touch at 4-4 victory)

Final:

So, consequently to the number of contestants, we have three finalists instead of two! It is decided to have two finals, one for the prize, and one for honourJ

In the first final, Maria Louisa Muircastle held the score until 3-3, but finally Joesf Fitzpatrick scored the last two points and won.

Thanks to the donation of The Duke and Duchess of Coeur, and an additional generous donation from his Excellency Il Principe di Melioria, Joesf was awarded the 2000 L$ prize, and Maria Louisa a finalist prize of 1000L$.

In the second final, Myron Verne, Baron de Coeur, with lots of luck and maybe because former competitors had exhausted his opponent J, defeated Joesf Fitzpatrick.

My very special thanks to Duc Bedrich , who prepared the pistes, and encouraged me from the start, Maria Louisa Muircastle, who provided the refreshments and food on the tables near the pistes, and of course my dear Lady Candace, without whose help and assistance nothing would be possible.

There will be more Tournaments to come: The Royal Courts Fencing Group will support all Courts who organize them. So keep an eye on the events Calendar and the Fencing Group messages and Join the Fencing Fun!
