2 - 3rds and a 1st QF Appearance makes it 1 Awesome DAY.

( SAM classroom block at the background )


 ( 3rd in Sekolah Al - Mujahideen for Standard 3 )

 ( Bronze - Foil U12 )

 ( U12 Medalists - FOIL )

( Bronze Medalists - U12 Foil )

The day was supposed to start with CP participating in his first ever Sabre competition i.e. U12 sanctioned by the FTAFA. Ironically, while preparing for the Sabre event it started instead with a call from an Ustaz apologising for not informing that the Prize-Giving for the Sekolah Al-Mujahideen, DU is being held today (like....at this very moment) and Amir Faiz's name will be called soon to receive prize on stage. Faiz got 3rd overall.

After clearing with the organisers, we were given 30-45 minutes to rush to DU for prize-giving and just made it in time before rushing back again for competition. His FIRST ever competition ended with him qualifying for the Quarter-Finals. Very good experience and results considering.

Sabre Results:
Pool 1
R1: Lost 3 - 5 to Niklas
R2: WON 5 - 4 against Emin Mikyle, after being down 1-3. Note: 1st Victory in Sabre event
R3: Lost 1 - 5 to Zen Faeq.

Quarter-Finals
Lost 2 - 10 to Rayyan.

Then it was, a 1-2hours wait for the U12 Boys Foil event.

FOIL Boys U-12 Results:

Pool 1
R1: Lost 0 - 5 to Raanesh (Std.5)
R2: Lost 2 - 5 to Armand (Std.6)
R3: Won 5 - 4 against Zul (Std.3)

*****R4: Won 5 - 4 against Zen Faeq (Std.6). 
Note: Huge Upset. Most probably similar like chess, when an opponent meets and underestimated a 'Younger & presumably' inexperienced fencer. Zen went on to win the event.
