GB U17 International, Georgia Silk, got GB’s top result at the Manchester Cadet International. Georgia fenced superbly all day (losing just one fight in the first round) before losing to the eventual silver medallist.
This result now catapults Georgia into the top 5 of the GB U17 Rankings. Well done Georgia!!
