THREE COUNTIES LEAGUE UPDATE
(from Team Captain Richard R)

We have seen a reversal in fortunes this year from last – in 2023 we missed out on winning the epee trophy on the last match of the season, so had a really strong epee year. In 2024 it’s our foil team looking most likely with a shot for the trophy. We need to win out next 3 to keep that in contention! 

Our next match isn’t until November but in the meantime the league table is available HERE

Is it too early to talk about Christmas already?  No, it’s not (definitelty not for Bita – this is for you!)

FESTIVE FENCING DATES
