The event was staged during the first minute interval at the Belfast Giants v Newcastle Vipers ice hockey game as part of a campaign to increase publicity for Northern Ireland Fencing (NIF). Among the audience were a number of local big names including former Miss Northern Ireland model and TV presenter Katie Larmour and World Superbike rider Eugene Laverty.

The two local sabreurs in the spotlight will help to raise the profile of NIF along with a similar follow-up event at the Belfast Giants v Nottingham Panthers on 30th January 2010, also to be held in the Odyssey Arena. In addition NIF in partnership with the University of Ulster will be providing vouchers for a free 'come and try fencing' event on Saturday 13th February at the University of Ulster Sports Centre in Jordanstown.
