Six of the Best for Newham Swords!!

[jbox]Following their performances at the recent GB Qualifiers in London, Bristol and Gateshead, a total of seven Newham Swords fencers have now been selected to fence for the GB U17 Team travelling to Bratislava and Poznan in January.

This follows their selection for the U17 International taking place in Cabries, France, later this month.

“It is amazing to have a total of seven fencers qualified for Bratislava and Posznan. This means that over half of the GB Squad originates from Newham Swords”, said Pierre Harper.
