Fencing
Queen's fencing hosted their annual Hugh Munby Invitational Fencing Tournament this past weekend in the Duncan McArthur Hall gymnasium, home of the Queen's University fencing salle. The Invitational was the largest to date, with a record 146 participants and 12 University Clubs invited, as well as a number of local clubs and individual participants. Queen's Fencing had an excellent turnout of 46 fencers and strong finishes in all categories.
 
The recently renamed Hugh Munby Invitational came soon after the recent loss of former head coach Hugh Munby, who passed away in early October. With the community is still feeling the loss of Coach Hugh, who had been with the team since 1985, a moment of silence was observed during the tournament in his honour. While Hugh will be greatly missed, the Queen's team will remember him fondly for his dedication and passion to the sport.
