Not content with first place in the team event, Isaac Jolley swept through the opposition to become boys’ under-14 champion and the under-16 champion. Max Hooper and Oscar Pickering took joint third in the under-16 individual competition.

Not to be outdone, the girls fenced brilliantly. Charlotte Beadle retained her title as Uunder-16 foil champion and Tara Sallaba proved what a fantastic fencer she has become by clinching the under-12 cup.

Rhianna Batchelor took second place in the girls’ under-14s while Kasjan Paskowski was third in the under-14 boys. Ben Shepherd was third in the under-12 boys with Harry Gray taking second place.

An astounding haul of medals and trophies for some exceptionally hard working and talented young fencers.
