OUFC has 4 different squads which represent the university: Men’s Blues (M1), Women’s Blues (W1), Men’s Assassins (M2), and Women’s Assassins (W2). Each squad has members skilled in Epee, Foil, and Sabre - usually with 3 primary fencers and 1 reserve fencer per weapon, adding to 12 overall team members.
During the season, the main fencing events for the squads are the BUCS league fixtures in which our squads face off against other university teams in their respective leagues. The results will then be used to decide the ranking of the team when entering an elimination round.
All 4 squads also participate in the annual Varsity match against Cambridge University. Other competitions in which squad members also participate include: The Landsdowne Exhibition Match (Oxbridge v London) and the BUCS individual championship.
