On the last weekend in June, the three students competed together at the tournament in Dresden. In an exciting final, the BUW trio was only narrowly defeated by WG Mainz (42:45). The three women from Wuppertal were thus able to repeat their success from the previous year.

A total of six competitions were on the programme: men and women competed in the epee, foil and sabre disciplines.
