MJ Evans Fencing takes the lead.

Another successful competition, we had 9 teams of 2. Judges Charlie and Richard explained it was a very close call between the top 3.

Congratulations to Mark and Nick taking 1^st position, Simon Gibbs & John Morgan 2^nd and Dan Critchlow Fencing 3^rd. We look forward to Mark and Nick coming back next year to defend their title.

The weather was reasonable this year which made life a bit easier compared to the weather last year.

Big thanks to all our sponsors.
