An acknowledgment that a scoring hit has been made in a fencing competition (6)

I believe the answer is:

touche

(Other definitions for touche that I've seen before include "Fencer's shout" , "You got me" , "Fencing cry" , "Acknowledgement of a good point" , "Acknowledgment of a hit in fencing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
