William Gallimore-Tallen : 3rd place in the U15 boys foil.
 
 
Well done to Tony for his silver medal at the Sheffield Novice Epee competition, where he was the youngest fencer!
 
 
Well done to William and Oliver for great results at the West Midlands Youth Championships. William had a superb day, winning every fight until he went out in the final so was 2nd place in the U14 mens foil. Oliver too had an unbroken string of victories until he went out in the semi final, so was 3rd in U12 mens foil.  They will now go on to fence for the West Midlands in the British Youth Championships in May.

Congratulations to Matthew Clarkson on being the first Four of Clubs member to attain the BAF Master of Arms certificate!  In order to do this, Matt had to pass the BAF Proficiency Awards at Gold Level for Foil, Epee and Sabre.  He has worked very hard to reach this level of skill so, many congratulations.  Matt will now be continuing to develop his skills through our coach education scheme.
