Kommetjie fencer makes a pointWhy would a 22-year-old student try tobalance a full-time job and his universitystudies, while travelling more than 60 kilometres each weekend to train so hardthat it leaves him exhausted and laying flaton the ground? To remain No. 1 in SouthAfrica, writes JOHN ADAMS

For more than two years now, Ash-

ley Marais, from Kommetjie,

stands alone as the best sabre

fencer in South Africa, and he hopes his

hard work, dedication and discipline

will show once again at the Senior

Nationals this weekend, Saturday

and Sunday June 13 and 14, at

UCT. With sweat pouring down his

face the now 22-year-old, Marais,

remembered his early fencing

days and how it all began for him

at the age of 11.

“My next door neighbour used

to practise on his front lawn,”

recalls Marais. “I would watch

every now and again whenever I

was at home. Then one day, his

group came to our school and I

decided to give it a go.”
