Results of the tournament have been submitted to HEMA Ratings Website and the Irish Historical Fencing League 2018 Results can be seen on the HEMA Ireland Website.
It was an intense tournament with an experimental ruleset (highly weighed targets and the ability to chain attacks) which forced us to adapt our tactics during the fight but it was well worth it as four Blademasters went into the eliminations bringing home one Bronze medal won by Brian in an exciting match against Joe!
4th and the last Leg of the IHFL will take place in Galway on the 17th of November 2018!
