Welcome to the official website of the UCT Fencing Club. Established in 1944, the UCT Fencing Club is one of the oldest and biggest fencing clubs in South Africa and one of the most successful sports teams at the University of Cape Town. The club caters for fencers of all skill levels, ranging from beginner through intermediate to Olympic hopefuls.

UCT and Stellenbosch fencers met on Sunday for a good old swordfight. It was the first time the competition was held and what a great success. No individual events, only team which welded the fencers together nicely as teams. The Event was set up to let the beginner fencers from both institutions fence in a competition format and to fence someone other than their sparring partners. It worked really well with both sides doing well but Maties came out with the Cup(the Musketeer Cup).
Well done to everyone who fenced!
