Inter Club CompetitionsThe Bracewell Challenge The Bracewell Challenge is a competition between the fencing clubs of Edinburgh University and Heriot-Watt University. Created to honour Professor Bracewell (EUFC Honorary President), the contest has been dormant for a number of years with EUFC winning the last time it was held. Jungle-Izzard Cup
The Jungle-Izzard Cup (JIC) is contested each year between Edinburgh University Fencing Club and University College, London Fencing Club. The competition came about after Ed ‘Izzard’ Manning met with George of the ‘Jungle’ Foley on a UCL tour to Mainz, Germany in 2004. How they got their names remains a mystery. There were many a drunken night on that tour, and both became great friends after a certain episode that saw George take a great affection to a bollard. There was much laughter on the part of Ed and the tale has been recalled many a time. Having both sobered up a few months later; the Jungle-Izzard Cup was born. Currently the JIC resides in London after UCL won the last match in 2005/2006. EUFC v TCD
In the New Year of 2005, EUFC embarked on a tour to Dublin to fence Trinity College, Dublin. EUFC won the match against TCD and the infamous breeches belonging to one of the fencer's would be ever immortalised in EUFC history. TCD came over to Edinburgh to fence for 'Owen's Breeches', which by this time had been framed. Again EUFC won the match.
