natsenglish

Sunday 11th February saw our younger fencers take to the pistes at SWNC in Cardiff for an event combining these 2 competitions.

Over 40 fencers competed on the day. The enthusiasm and energy of these fencers was wonderful to see, and the fencing was of an equally high standard too.

Congratulations to the medallists in the Cadet Championships, and also to all of our BYC qualifiers……we wish you all the best in Sheffield in May!
