International Mace Results

"The Mace" is the regional championships of the UK and Ireland.  The four individual nations (England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales) all hold national mace competitions.  The four winners then go through to the International Mace Final.  Prior to 2002 there was no Welsh Mace and the fourth place in the international mace final was decided by a run off (Repechage) between the runners up in the three national maces (plus the third team from one nation which was rotated between the nations).  The winners of the International mace are known back to 1954.  The winners of the national maces prior to around 1992 or 1993 is not known as the group of us who gathered the date some years back could not recall back that far.  We can't use the winners of the international mace as a guide to the winners of the national mace as they could have come through the repechage.

The competition is run by the English Speaking Union.
